Move the check for check_refname_format from lock_any_ref_for_update
to lock_ref_sha1_basic. At some later stage we will get rid of
lock_any_ref_for_update completely.
If lock_ref_sha1_basic fails the check_refname_format test, set errno to
EINVAL before returning NULL. This to guarantee that we will not return an
error without updating errno.
This leaves lock_any_ref_for_updates as a no-op wrapper which could be
removed.
But this wrapper is also called from an external caller and we will soon
make changes to the signature to lock_ref_sha1_basic that we do not want to
expose to that caller.
That might be sensible if our only goal were to remove
lock-any-ref-for-updates, but I wonder what the impact of this
change to other existing callers of lock-ref-sha1-basic. I may be
recalling things incorrectly, but I suspect that it was deliberate
to keep the lowest-level internal helper function (i.e. _basic()) to
be lenient so that those who do not want the format checks can
choose to pass refnames that are not exactly kosher.
If we need such recovery code we could add it as an option to git fsck and
have
git fsck be the only sanctioned way of bypassing the normal API and checks.
But fsck is about checking and never about recovering, isn't it?
Does it offer to remove misnamed refs? Should it?
