2015-07-27refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecsLibravatar Jacob Keller1-4/+7
Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*" within a component instead of only as the whole component. Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic in check_refname_component(). Pass the pointer to the flags argument to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when it sees "*". Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*" only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec contains at most one asterisk. This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`. Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with the new logic.

2014-06-05refs.c: optimize check_refname_component()Libravatar David Turner1-1/+5
In a repository with many refs, check_refname_component can be a major contributor to the runtime of some git commands. One such command is git rev-parse HEAD Timings for one particular repo, with about 60k refs, almost all packed, are: Old: 35 ms New: 29 ms Many other commands which read refs are also sped up.

2009-03-07Support '*' in the middle of a refspecLibravatar Daniel Barkalow1-0/+12
In order to keep the requirements strict, each * has to be a full path component, and there may only be one * per side. This requirement is enforced entirely by check_ref_format(); the matching implementation will substitute the whatever matches the * in the lhs for the * in the rhs.

2008-05-04add special "matching refs" refspecLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-1/+4
This patch provides a way to specify "push matching heads" using a special refspec ":". This is useful because it allows "push = +:" as a way to specify that matching refs will be pushed but, in addition, forced updates will be allowed, which was not possible before.

2008-03-22remote.c: Fix overtight refspec validationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+72
We tightened the refspec validation code in an earlier commit ef00d15 (Tighten refspec processing, 2008-03-17) per my suggestion, but the suggestion was misguided to begin with and it broke this usage: $ git push origin HEAD~12:master The syntax of push refspecs and fetch refspecs are similar in that they are both colon separated LHS and RHS (possibly prefixed with a + to force), but the similarity ends there. For example, LHS in a push refspec can be anything that evaluates to a valid object name at runtime (except when colon and RHS is missing, or it is a glob), while it must be a valid-looking refname in a fetch refspec. To validate them correctly, the caller needs to be able to say which kind of refspecs they are. It is unreasonable to keep a single interface that cannot tell which kind it is dealing with, and ask it to behave sensibly. This commit separates the parsing of the two into different functions, and clarifies the code to implement the parsing proper (i.e. splitting into two parts, making sure both sides are wildcard or neither side is). This happens to also allow pushing a commit named with the esoteric "look for that string" syntax: $ git push ../test.git ':/remote.c: Fix overtight refspec:master' Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
