From 80054cf9d53aad76631797d76ce33a56c855c61a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Rorvick Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:41:39 -0600 Subject: push: clarify rejection of update to non-commit-ish Pushes must already (by default) update to a commit-ish due to the fast- forward check in set_ref_status_for_push(). But rejecting for not being a fast-forward suggests the situation can be resolved with a merge. Flag these updates (i.e., to a blob or a tree) as not forwardable so the user is presented with more appropriate advice. While updating *from* a tag object is potentially destructive, updating *to* a tag is not. Additionally, a push to the refs/tags/ hierarchy is already excluded from fast-forwarding, and refs/heads/ is protected from anything but commit objects by a check in write_ref_sha1(). Thus someone fast-forwarding to a tag is probably not doing so by accident. Since updating to a tag is benign and unlikely to cause confusion, allow it in case someone finds the behavior useful.
