Package: gitolite3
Version: 3.6.1-2+deb8u2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
Following DEP14[1] to name my tags for debian packaging I use % in
tagnames. When I then try to push such a tag to a gitolite instance I
get:
remote: FATAL: invalid characters in ref or filename:
'refs/tags/debian/1%1.6.22-1'
The reason is that $REF_OR_FILENAME_PATT doesn't allow % in a ref name.
This can be easily fixed by setting this variable in
~gitolite/.gitolite.rc like:
$REF_OR_FILENAME_PATT = qr(^[0-9a-zA-Z][-0-9a-zA-Z._\@/+ :,%]*$);
. But I wonder why gitolite is restrictive here and wish that % was be
allowed by default. (Side note: git doesn't allow : in refnames, so
there more changes to REF_OR_FILENAME_PATT might be sensible.)
Best regards
Uwe
