If the duplicate ref isn't referenced then everything should just work, since we never look at it.
If the ref is referenced I opted to special case the fact of both refs pointing to the same place since then there is technically no ambiguity. In the case where they point to different places I opted to error out instead of picking one over the other. This is somewhat of an arbitrary choice as
git
itself will show a warning thatrefname '$REF' is ambiguous.
and then pick branches over tags (at least ingit switch
) but depending on the context I don't think this is intuitive.Anyway, that be revisited but for now this PR fixes the behavior for all cases where there isn't any ambiguity.
