DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Checks if a given 'refname' is acceptable, and exits non-zero if
-it is not.
+Checks if a given 'refname' is acceptable, and exits with a non-zero
+status if it is not.
A reference is used in git to specify branches and tags. A
-branch head is stored under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads` directory, and
-a tag is stored under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` directory. git
-imposes the following rules on how refs are named:

+These rules make it easy for shell script based tools to parse
+reference names, pathname expansion by the shell when a reference name is used
unquoted (by mistake), and also avoids ambiguities in certain
-refname expressions (see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]). Namely:
+reference name expressions (see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]):
-. double-dot `..` are often used as in `ref1..ref2`, and in some

- ref1 and in ref2).

'nth parent' and 'peel onion' operation.

+. A colon `:` is used as in `srcref:dstref` to mean "use srcref\'s
value and store it in dstref" in fetch and push operations.
It may also be used to select a specific object such as with
'git-cat-file': "git cat-file blob v1.3.3:refs.c".
