If you call it with no arguments you get some errors instead of the excepted usage message. But I managed to fix it by changing action = get_action branch = get_branch to: action = get_action if ARGV[0] branch = get_branch if ARGV[1] Great script, but I noticed a small bug. If you call it with no arguments you get some errors instead of the excepted usage message.

But I managed to fix it by changing

action = get_action
branch = get_branch

to:

action = get_action if ARGV[0]
branch = get_branch if ARGV[1]

If I could re-create the master branch, I could get around this shortcoming. Otherwise, I'll just avoid repo.or.cz in favour of some other Git hosting service or host the repo on my own site, though it wouldn't be as visible (findable) as on a well-known hosting service.

Why would you want to do so anyways? My guess is that you can’t delete the master branch. Why would you want to do so anyways?

Once you've committed the first commit to the initial branch (default is 'master'), it seems that you cannot delete this branch. I suppose this makes sense because it would be very dangerous to allow a user to delete the entire main history of a repo. It follows from this reasoning that Git should also disallow the deletion of all branches in a remote repo, but I haven't yet verified that this is true.

Similar to the form that exists for git-remote-branch-create, does git-remote-branch-delete also have a more general form that can delete a given branch from any given remote Git repo?
