Subject: [PATCH v2] check-ref-format: use parse-options API
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 08:33:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2470.v2.git.git.1793694813386.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2470.git.git.1793298807397.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Hussain Sitamouwala <husainsitamuwala21@gmail.com>
The command parses its options by hand, comparing each argument
against string literals. Use the parse-options API instead so that
option handling is consistent with other builtins and the help
output is generated from the option table.
Keep the existing behavior: --print stays a hidden, deprecated
synonym for --normalize, only --allow-onelevel can be negated, and
parsing stops at the first non-option argument so that options
after <refname> are still rejected.
Drop the early show_usage_if_asked() call, so that -h is handled by
parse_options().
Two minor differences come with parse_options(): unambiguous
abbreviations of long options, such as --norm, are accepted, and
"--" may now precede <refname>.

check-ref-format: use parse-options API
- Use the parse-options API to handle command-line options
- consistently with other Git builtins.
+ The command parses its options by hand, comparing each argument
+ against string literals. Use the parse-options API instead so that
+ option handling is consistent with other builtins and the help
+ output is generated from the option table.
- The command currently parses options manually, duplicating
- argument-handling logic. Using parse-options makes option
- handling consistent with the rest of Git.
+ Keep the existing behavior: --print stays a hidden, deprecated
+ synonym for --normalize, only --allow-onelevel can be negated, and
+ parsing stops at the first non-option argument so that options
+ after <refname> are still rejected.
- Replace manual option parsing while preserving support for
- normalization, branch names, and refname validation.
+ Drop the early show_usage_if_asked() call, so that -h is handled by
+ parse_options().
+
+ Two minor differences come with parse_options(): unambiguous
+ abbreviations of long options, such as --norm, are accepted, and
+ "--" may now precede <refname>.
