## #refex matching a ref and a refex
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A refex is a word I made up to mean "a regex that matches a ref". If you know
|
||
|
|
[regular expressions][regex] you're halfway there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only extra info you need is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* for convenience, a refex not starting with `refs/` is assumed to start
|
||
|
|
with `refs/heads/`. This means normal branches can be referred to like
|
||
|
|
this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RW master = alice
|
||
|
|
# becomes 'refs/heads/master' internally
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
while tags will need to be fully qualified
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RW refs/tags/v[0-9] = bob
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* a refex is implicitly anchored at the start, but not at the end. In
|
||
|
|
regular expression lingo, a `^` is assumed at the start (but no `$` at the
|
||
|
|
end is assumed). So a refex of `master` will allow all these:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
refs/heads/master
|
||
|
|
refs/heads/master1
|
||
|
|
refs/heads/master2
|
||
|
|
refs/heads/master/full
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to restrict to just the one specific ref, use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RW master$ = alice
|
