Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] strbuf_branchname: add docstring
Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 03:21:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170302082130.ynfctf73qbvwt3qo@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170302082100.edaretznmlralswa@sigill.intra.peff.net>

This function and its companion, strbuf_check_branch_ref(),
did not have their purpose or semantics explained. Let's do
so.
