I do not think it claims any such thing. $ git check-ref-format --branch @foo@{u}; echo $? fatal: '@foo@{u}' is not a valid branch name 128 $ git check-ref-format --branch @foo; echo $? @foo 0 The former asks "Is the string '@foo@{u}' a suitable name to give a branch?" and the answer is no. The latter asks the same question about the string '@foo', and the answer is yes. So I do not see any bug here. -- 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
