From: Victoria Dye <vdye@xxxxxxxxxx> Update 'cache_ref_iterator_advance' to skip over refs that are not matched by the given prefix. Currently, a ref entry is considered "matched" if the entry name is fully contained within the prefix: * prefix: "refs/heads/v1" * entry: "refs/heads/v1.0" OR if the prefix is fully contained in the entry name: * prefix: "refs/heads/v1.0" * entry: "refs/heads/v1" The first case is always correct, but the second is only correct if the ref cache entry is a directory, for example: * prefix: "refs/heads/example" * entry: "refs/heads/" Modify the logic in 'cache_ref_iterator_advance' to reflect these expectations: 1. If 'overlaps_prefix' returns 'PREFIX_EXCLUDES_DIR', then the prefix and ref cache entry do not overlap at all. Skip this entry. 2. If 'overlaps_prefix' returns 'PREFIX_WITHIN_DIR', then the prefix matches inside this entry if it is a directory. Skip if the entry is not a directory, otherwise iterate over it. 3. Otherwise, 'overlaps_prefix' returned 'PREFIX_CONTAINS_DIR', indicating that the cache entry (directory or not) is fully contained by or equal to the prefix. Iterate over this entry. Note that condition 2 relies on the names of directory entries having the appropriate trailing slash. The existing function documentation of 'create_dir_entry' explicitly calls out the trailing slash requirement, so this is a safe assumption to make.
