I missed this question before.

The discussion happened at https://code-review.googlesource.com/1017.
It's easier to see after clicking the 'Expand All' button, but even
then it's hard to see the signal in the 'Patch Set <n> was rebased'
noise.

The pointer Michael mentioned was to the git-check-ref-format(1)
manpage and old 'check-ref-format' callers that can be found in
contrib/examples/.  Sorry for the lack of context.
