I like it, too. How about something like the two functions below? This will break things a bit for people currently using % in refnames, however. I think this will work rather nicely once I've figured out how the path globbing code works[1] and where to sanitize/desanitize the refnames properly. It would be far easier to take your approach and sanitize them only for the command-line, but storing unsanitized git refnames into the .git/config is something I want to avoid: Somebody naming directories on the SVN side with the path component ":refs/remotes" in them could screw things up for us. # transform the refname as per rules in git-check-ref-format(1): sub sanitize_ref_name { my ($refname) = @_; # It cannot end with a slash /, we'll throw up on this because # SVN can't have directories with a slash in their name, either: if ($refname =~ m{/$}) { die "ref: '$refname' ends with a trailing slash, this is ", "not permitted by git nor Subversion\n"; } # It cannot have ASCII control character space, tilde ~, caret ^, # colon :, question-mark ?, asterisk *, or open bracket[ anywhere # # Additionally, % must be escaped because it is used for escaping # and we want our escaped refname to be reversible $refname =~ s{( \%~\^:\?\*\[\t)}{uc sprintf('%%%02x',ord($1))}eg; # no slash-separated component can begin with a dot . # /.* becomes /%2E* $refname =~ s{/\.}{/%2E}g; # It cannot have two consecutive dots .. anywhere # .. becomes %2E%2E $refname =~ s{\.\.}{%2E%2E}g; $refname; } sub desanitize_ref_name { my ($refname) = @_; $refname =~ s{%(?:([0-9A-F]{2})}{chr hex($1)}g; $refname; } > On the other hand, we could make the translation regexps > configurable... Hopefully not needed. I fear it would just add to confusion. [1] I don't remember writing the globbing code myself, maybe it was my psychotic alter ego, but I'm having trouble following it at this time of the night/morning. -- Eric Wong - 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
