No, but I try to have a policy of not accepting anything that is even slightly questionable, so it was unintentional in the details but a result of a higher-level principle..
Of course, even when I wrote it I _also_ knew that I should check everything else too (not just the first character), but I was lazy. That would have been even better - then we could have made the thing be something like
<sha1><space><name>[<space><sha1-of-deref>]*
instead.
