What does it mean to > "apply refspec to a name" in the context of this function? The term "apply" was intended to convey the idea of mapping the refspec with the given name, but it’s more helpful to describe the function’s behavior more explicitly. I’ll update the comment in the next version of this series. Here’s the revised comment I plan to use: /* * Search for a refspec that matches the given name and return the * corresponding destination (dst) if a match is found, NULL otherwise. */
