Setup as follows.
example repo: git@github.com:owner/repo.git example branches: * ABC-1 * feature/ABC-1 * XBC-1 * EABC-1
These are all things that work as "expected". ``` $ git ls-remote --heads git@github.com:owner/repo.git ABC- $ git ls-remote --heads git@github.com:owner/repo.git BC-1 $ git ls-remote --heads git@github.com:owner/repo.git XBC-1 <ref> refs/head/XBC-1 $ git ls-remote --heads git@github.com:owner/repo.git *BC-1 <ref> refs/head/ABC-1 <ref> refs/head/EABC-1 <ref> refs/head/XBC-1 <ref> refs/head/feature/ABC-1 $ git ls-remote --heads git@github.com:owner/repo.git "[^/]ABC-1" <ref> refs/head/EABC-1 ```
What is totally unexpected.... is the most simple search for ABC-1... ``` $ git ls-remote --heads git@github.com:owner/repo.git ABC-1 <ref> refs/head/ABC-1 <ref> refs/head/feature/ABC-1 ```
It appears that the matching behavior trims at the last slash... which isn't correct.
V/R, William
