From 7ccc94ff4590cd035b7f78dfd9debbd7e692f3e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 00:10:00 -0700 Subject: check-ref-format --branch: strip refs/heads/ using skip_prefix The expansion returned from strbuf_check_branch_ref always starts with "refs/heads/" by construction, but there is nothing about its name or advertised API making that obvious. This command is used to process human-supplied input from the command line and is usually not the inner loop, so we can spare some cycles to be more defensive. Instead of hard-coding the offset strlen("refs/heads/") to skip, verify that the expansion actually starts with refs/heads/.
