From a933c23e66265eedf822535ac56fcdb4ecb07a8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Haggerty Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 18:00:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] commit: avoid race when creating orphan commits If HEAD doesn't point at anything during the initial check, then we should make sure that it *still* doesn't point at anything when we are ready to update the reference. Otherwise, another process might commit while we are working (e.g., while we are waiting for the user to edit the commit message) and we will silently overwrite it. This fixes a failing test in t7516.
