From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 23:13:32 +0000 (-0800) Subject: push: do not turn --delete '' into a matching push X-Git-Tag: v2.31.0-rc0~1^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=20e416409fc2bc260faf65a0fc74927ed0d3ca12;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git push: do not turn --delete '' into a matching push When we added a syntax sugar "git push remote --delete " to "git push" as a synonym to the canonical "git push remote :" syntax at f517f1f2 (builtin-push: add --delete as syntactic sugar for :foo, 2009-12-30), we weren't careful enough to make sure that is not empty. Blindly rewriting "--delete " to ":" means that an empty string results in refspec ":", which is the syntax to ask for "matching" push that does not delete anything. Worse yet, if there were matching refs that can be fast-forwarded, they would have been published prematurely, even if the user feels that they are not ready yet to be pushed out, which would be a real disaster.
