From 70a5fc443acbd1fe69cc21c10190375facabaf93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sitaram Chamarty Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2009 21:30:12 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] gitk: Disable checkout of remote branches At the command line, trying to check out a remote branch gives you a detailed warning message, but the gitk GUI currently allows it without any fuss. Since the GUI is often used by people much less familiar with git, it seems reasonable to make the GUI more restrictive than the command line, not less. This prevents a lot of detached HEAD commits by new users.
