Move the check for check_refname_format from lock_any_ref_for_update to lock_ref_sha1_basic. At some later stage we will get rid of lock_any_ref_for_update completely. This has no visible impact to callers except for the inability to lock badly named refs, which is not possible today already for other reasons.(*) Keep lock_any_ref_for_update as a no-op wrapper. It is the public facing version of this interface and keeping it as a separate function will make it easier to experiment with the internal lock_ref_sha1_basic signature. (*) For example, if lock_ref_sha1_basic checks the refname format and refuses to lock badly named refs, it will not be possible to delete such refs because the first step of deletion is to lock the ref. We currently already fail in that case because these refs are not recognized to exist: $ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/echo...\*\* $ git branch -D .git/refs/heads/echo...\*\* error: branch '.git/refs/heads/echo...**' not found. This has been broken for a while. Later patches in the series will start repairing the handling of badly named refs.

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
