I wanted to bump this idea - now that it appears that 2.30 is complete
and the new maint branch. Given that this patch makes matching-refspec
unusable in 2.29, would it make sense to backport a fix to the 2.29
release? If that seems risky/unwanted, is there some practice of
documenting known (serious) bugs in past releases?

Thanks
