Subject: [PATCH 0/5] git check-ref-format --stdin --report-errors
Message-ID: <20161104191358.28812-1-ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>

I wanted to be able to syntax check lots of proposed refs quickly
(please don't ask why - it's complicated!)

So I added a --stdin option to git-check-ref-format.  Also it has
--report-errors now too so you can get some kind of useful error
message if it complains.

It's still not really a good batch mode but it's good enough for my
use case.  To improve it would involve a new command line option to
offer a suitable stdout output format.

There are three small refactoring patches and the two patches with new
options and corresponding docs.

Thanks for your attention.

FYI I am not likely to need this again in the near future: it's a
one-off use case.  So my effort for rework is probably limited.  I
thought I'd share what I'd done in what I hope is a useful form,
anyway.

Regards,
Ian.
