From df93e33c8bc8c79751a45d8005c6a92b18d4ba6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Barkalow Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:14:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Validate nicknames of remote branches to prohibit confusing ones The original problem was that the parsers for configuration files were getting confused by seeing as nicknames remotes that involved directory-changing characters. In particular, the branches config file for ".." was particularly mystifying on platforms that can open directories and read odd data from them. The validation function was written by Junio Hamano (with a typo corrected).
