[PATCH v7 2/4] gitweb: Return 1 on validation success instead of passed input

From
Krzesimir Nowak <krzesimir@endocode.com>
Date
Dec 11, 2013, 11:54 UTC
Message-ID
<1386762884-7564-3-git-send-email-krzesimir@endocode.com>
In-Reply-To
<1386762884-7564-1-git-send-email-krzesimir@endocode.com>

Users of validate_* passing "0" might get failures on correct name because of coercion of "0" to false in code like: die_error(500, "invalid ref") unless (check_ref_format ("0"));

Also, the validate_foo subs are renamed to is_valid_foo.
