In `write_head_info()` we announce references to the remote client. We
need to honor "transfer.hideRefs" here so that we do not announce any
references that the client shouldn't be able to learn about. This is
done via two separate mechanisms:
- We hand over exclude patterns to the reference backend. We can only
honor "plain" exclude patterns here that do not have prefixes with
special meaning such as "^" or "!". Filtering down the references is
handled by `hidden_refs_to_excludes()`.
- In `show_ref_cb()` we perform a second check against hidden refs.
For one this is done such that we can handle those special prefixes.
And second, handling exclude patterns in ref backends is optional,
so we also have to handle "normal" patterns.
The special-meaning "^" prefix alters whether a hidden ref applies to
the namespace-stripped reference name or the full name. So while we
would usually call `refs_for_each_namespaced_ref()` to only get those
references in the current namespace, we can't because we'd get the
already-rewritten reference names. Instead, we are forced to use
`refs_for_each_fullref_in()` and then manually strip away the namespace
prefix such that we have access to both names.
But this also means that we do not get namespace handling for exclude
patterns, which `refs_for_each_namespaced_ref()` brings for free. This
results in a bug because we potentially end up hiding away references
based on their namespaced name and not on the stripped name as we really
should be doing.
Fix this by manually rewriting the exclude patterns to their namespaced
variants.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
