Assuming I'm a reader without prior knowledge, the first question which pops into my mind is "what's the difference between 'version:refname' and 'v:refname'?" Is one just shorthand for the other, or is there some subtle difference in behavior, or what? The documentation should explain this better. Also, why are there parentheses around 'version:refname' or 'v:refname'? And, you should use backticks rather than apostrophes, as is done with the other field names. > In any case, a field name that refers to a field inapplicable to > the object referred by the ref does not cause an error.
