#!/bin/sh

# Usage:    ssh git@host symbolic-ref <repo> <arguments to git-symbolic-ref>
#
# allow 'git symbolic-ref' over a gitolite connection

# Security: remember all arguments to commands must match a very conservative
# pattern.  Once that is assured, the symbolic-ref command has no security
# related side-effects, so we don't check arguments at all.

# Note: because of the restriction on allowed characters in arguments, you
# can't supply an arbitrary string to the '-m' option.  The simplest
# work-around is-to-just-use-join-up-words-like-this if you feel the need to
# supply a "reason" string.  In any case this is useless by default; you'd
# have to have core.logAllRefUpdates set for it to have any meaning.
