Bikeshedding... I think I recall in an earlier iteration that you asked for opinions about '$', but don't recall if there were responses. Have you considered '*' rather than '$'? In my brain, at least, '$' is associated so strongly with regex that "origin/$" is interpreted automatically as anchoring "origin/" at the end of string, and "refs/$/head" just feels weird. On the other hand, given the familiarity of shell globbing, "origin/*" and "refs/*/head" feel quite natural and intuitive. > Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclo...@gmail.com> > --- > diff --git a/Documentation/git-fetch.txt b/Documentation/git-fetch.txt > @@ -116,6 +116,11 @@ representing the status of a single ref.
