[PATCH v3 1/4] Document the semantics of hideRefs with namespaces

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Right now, there is no clear definition of how transfer.hideRefs should
behave when a namespace is set. Explain that hideRefs prefixes match
stripped names in that case. This is how hideRefs patterns are currently
handled in receive-pack.

 If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones

+If a namespace is set, the namespace prefix is stripped from each reference
+before references are matched against hideRefs patterns. For example, if the
+prefix `refs/heads/master` is specified in `transfer.hideRefs` and the current
