I think your design guidelines are: - We do want to advertise HEAD, so it can (and should) be unconditional; - We may want to restrict with configuration, or use "refs/*" as the fallback default; - We may want to (extend|replace) advertised set configured in the configuration file. I would naively expect the above to be implemented in this order: - In main, first thing is to do the git_config() bit; if to_advertise is non-empty after git_config() returns, we have seen upload.advertise. Otherwise we haven't. Push "refs/*" in the latter case. - Then, parse the command line. Do we see "--expand="? If so: . When handling the first "--expand=", clear to_advertise list. This step is optional---necessary only if we want to make config variable override-able ;-); . Then, push the pattern in. - And finally push "HEAD" in unconditionally. Which would mean a few things: - Your version always extends what is read from the configuration with --expand=, but I think replacing would be the right thing to do. - configured_advertise global variable can go. - Instead, to implement "--expand= replaces", we need a local variable in main() to remember if we already cleared to_advertise of the patterns read from the configuration file, and use it in the part that parses "--expand=". But I may not be thinking clearly; I was up all night because I couldn't sleep under loud noises of fire-fighting helicopters... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
