Being notified when a push does not fix a dangling HEAD ------------------------------------------------------- Things can get confusing quickly when you've got a repository where the symbolic ref HEAD does not point to an existing branch. This is called a "dangling HEAD". Since Gitano allows you to change the HEAD symbolic ref from refs/heads/master it can be easier to accidentally leave it dangling after pushing a branch. To reduce the surprise involved, Gitano will provide a warning if after a push the HEAD symbolic ref is dangling. SCENARIO Pushes resulting in a dangling HEAD are warned about GIVEN a standard instance WHEN testinstance adminkey runs create testrepo AND testinstance adminkey runs config testrepo set project.head refs/heads/trunk AND testinstance, using adminkey, clones testrepo as testrepo AND testinstance applies add-a-FOO.patch in testrepo AND testinstance, using adminkey, pushes testrepo to testrepo.git THEN stderr contains WARNING: HEAD remains dangling FINALLY the instance is torn down
