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>.

     -    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>.
