Subject: [PATCH] check-ref-format: use parse-options API
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 18:33:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2470.git.git.1793298807397.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Hussain Sitamouwala <husainsitamuwala21@gmail.com>

Use the parse-options API to handle command-line options
consistently with other Git builtins.

The command currently parses options manually, duplicating
argument-handling logic. Using parse-options makes option
handling consistent with the rest of Git.

Replace manual option parsing while preserving support for
normalization, branch names, and refname validation.
