I don't think it's right. Today I can do
$ cd /tmp
$ git check-ref-format --branch master
master
You might wonder why I'd ever do such a thing. But that's what "git
check-ref-format --branch" is for --- it is for taking a <branch>
argument and turning it into a branch name. For example, if you have
a script with an $opt_branch variable that defaults to "master", it
may do
resolved_branch=$(git check-ref-format --branch "$opt_branch")
even though it is in a mode that not going to have to use
$resolved_branch and it is not running from a repository.
Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
