[PATCH 6/7] refs: exempt pseudoref patterns from prefixing

From
Andy Koppe <andy.koppe@gmail.com>
Date
Oct 19, 2023, 19:39 UTC
Message-ID
<20231019193911.1669705-7-andy.koppe@gmail.com>

In normalize_glob_ref(), don't prefix patterns that look like pseudorefs with "refs/". This is in preparation for showing pseudorefs such as ORIG_HEAD in log decorations, as they are not matched as intended in decoration filters otherwise.

Use existing function is_pseudoref_syntax() to do this, declaring it in refs.h to make it available to normalize_glob_ref() and anything else that might need it. As the function returns true for HEAD as well, the special case for that is no longer needed.
