2020-01-24contrib: Change 'remote' for personal branches and add branch creation scriptRichard Earnshaw
Whilst trying to convert the add vendor branch script to work with personal branches I encountered a minor issue where git would report ambiguous refs when checking out the new branch. It turns out that this is because git considers <me>/<topic> to be ambiguous if both refs/heads/<me>/<topic> and refs/remotes/<me>/<topic> exist in the list of known branches. Having thought about this a bit, I think the best solution is to adopt something more like the vendors space and call the remote users/<me> (this also works better if you want to set up remotes to track other users branches as well). So this patch has two parts. 1) It updates gcc-git-customization.sh to set up the new 'remote' and converts any existing remote and branches tracking that to the new format 2) It adds a new script to set up a personal branch on the gcc git repository. * gcc-git-customization.sh: Use users/<pfx> for the personal remote rather than just <pfx>. Convert any existing personal branches to the new remote. * git-add-user-branch.sh: New file.
