Hi, i am using the next branch for testing and i noticed the following: about any git command i execute in a certain repo dies with fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/patches/obd_development/blah:_various_improvements_remote_debugging' This is probably caused by dce4bab6567de7c458b334e029e3dedcab5f2648 add_ref(): verify that the refname is formatted correctly The invalid refs(about 30, loose and packed) containing a ':' were created by stgit a long time ago(Dec 2006) Personally i do not care too much, i patched my git to not die at this point but to only display a error. -> The invalid refs are not accessible, but the rest of the repo still works. But i'm just wondering if dieing when seeing a single invalid ref might be a bit too harsh since no git tools can be used anymore on this repo at all. Small side note: It seems t1402-check-ref-format.sh contains not test for the invalid ref char ':' yet. (i do not know if it is tested somewhere else...)
