New issue 284: Changing current branch in web interface

André:

I tried to delete a remote branch and got the following error message:

remote: error: By default, deleting the current branch is denied, because the next
remote: error: 'git clone' won't result in any file checked out, causing confusion.

I thought changing the "Start Revision" would also change the current branch but grepping through the source code it seems that this is only stored in the database.

A change of the "Start Revision" setting should perform something like "git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/$revision" in the bare repository.
