Add a default target for symbolic reference branches
ClosedPublic

Authored by olasd on May 28 2020, 11:02 AM.

Details

Summary

Some repositories are wrongly configured and they have symbolic references (e.g.
a HEAD) that points to a non-existent branch. In the general case, we still want
to load these origins; Create a dangling branch for these symbolic references to
point to.

Test Plan

new tox test added

LGTM, but I think it's missing some tests:

LGTM, but I think it's missing some tests:

Yeah, I know of the caplog fixture, thanks. I will not be adding pytest fixtures in the mess of unittest class inheritance that these tests currently are.

  • Checking there is no warning if we first get a symref from A to B, then a reference from B to C.

As we don't really control what comes "first" (dulwich is reading the symbolic refs, not us) I don't think this (very) edge case can really be tested for reliably. I don't even know if chains of symbolic references exist in practice.

I am "the pre-commit hook" for copyright headers (I missed those yesterday... ;)
Can you please update those (we do for other repos ;)?
