How does Elegit handle 'git merge' with duplicate names #456

Closed erictwalker18 closed 8 years ago

erictwalker18 commented 8 years ago

Not sure exactly how Elegit handles 'git merge exampleName' when there is a tag named exampleName and a branch named exampleName. Does it do what other clients do (default to the tag, which could be unexpected? or give no notification, unlike CLI)

Elegit actually handles the merge case correctly, however checking out a branch that is a duplicate results in checking out the tag. See #454
