* | | | Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliableJohannes Schindelin2009-04-251-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

There are two reasons to fix this: 1. It can grow stale with respect to what's in "git branch" (which it is now is). 2. It is not just an implementation detail, but rather the desired mental model for the command that we are using "git branch" here. Being explicit about that can help the user understand what is going on. It also makes sense to strip the branch creation options from the synopsis, as they are making it a long, hard-to-read line. They are still easily discovered by reading the options list, and --track is explicitly referenced when branch creation is described.

At the same time, upstream branches are used for more than just git-pull these days; let's mention that here.
