Quoting: Git has recently changed the refspec matching rules to allow refspecs such as refs/heads/o*:refs/remotes/heads/i* We still perform checks using the old rules by which the glob must always match a full path element. https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/3361 However, pleas note that only 3 issues with the tag ’git compatibility’ are currently open [1]–well three when 2 are related. 1: <https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/labels/git%20compatibility> Cheers, simon
