I however notice error handling in the codepath that deals with "--exclude-hidden" is a bit sloppy. refs.c::parse_hide_refs_config() is nice enough to diagnose a malformed transfer.hiderefs configuration as an error by returning -1, and revision.c::hide_refs_config() propagates such an error up, but revision.c::exclude_hidden_refs() ignores the error from git_config(), and revision.c::handle_revision_pseudo_opt() ignores any error from exclude_hidden_refs() anyway. We may want to tighten it a bit before (ab)using the option in more contexts. Thanks.
