Yeah, I agree that is the right place to do syntactic checking. But I
think we can't do much checking for the sparse-oid. We currently accept
not just a hex oid, but any name. And I think that is useful; I should
be able to say "master:sparse-file" and have it resolved by the remote
side.
So it really is "any name which is syntactically resolvable as a sha1
expression". At which point I think you might as well punt and just wait
until we _actually_ try to resolve the name to see if it's valid.
I'll work up what I sent earlier into a real patch, and include some of
this discussion.
