GitG should filter/hide reference outside of refs/head
Hi everyone.
I'm the author of git-bug, a bug tracker embedded in git.
git-bug, as other tools with a similar idea, store data in git commit referenced by arbitrary references (more details). To not interfere with the normal coding workflow, these branch are named/stored outside refs/head
.
I noticed that GitG list these refs anyway under "All commits":
As the number of bug stored grows, it quickly clogs the history views and even make GitG unresponsive.
I would argue that as git himself ignore these references in the normal coding workflow (git branch
doesn't list them for instance), GitG should do the same.
