Subject: [BUG] "git rebase -r" lacks sanitation on merges with arbitrary reference syntax
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 12:42:31 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <479118979.-772834452.1571913751603.JavaMail.root@zimbra39-e7> (raw)

Hello,

I have a branch which does successive merges from a vendor branch, like:

 git merge vendor/poky-intercepts^{/warrior}'
 git merge vendor/poky-intercepts^{/zeus}'

Now if I try to use "rebase -r" across such a merge, the result is:

 error: refusing to update ref with bad name 'refs/rewritten/vendor/poky-intercepts^{/warrior}'
 hint: Could not execute the todo command
 hint: 
 hint:     label vendor/poky-intercepts^{/warrior}
 hint: 
 hint: It has been rescheduled; To edit the command before continuing, please
 hint: edit the todo list first:
 hint: 
 hint:     git rebase --edit-todo
 hint:     git rebase --continue

If I manually sanitize the label name, everything's fine.
