git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch
This makes "git branch -D other_branch" work even when HEAD points at a yet-to-be-born branch. Earlier, we checked the HEAD ref for the purpose of "subset" check even when the deletion was forced (i.e. not -d but -D). Because of this, you cannot delete a branch even with -D while on a yet-to-be-born branch. With this change, the following sequence that now works: mkdir newdir && cd newdir git init-db git fetch -k $other_repo refs/heads/master:refs/heads/othre # oops, typo git branch other othre git branch -D othre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
