These rules makes it easy for shell script based tools to parse
refnames, pathname expansion by the shell when a refname is used
unquoted (by mistake), and also avoids ambiguities in certain
-refname expressions (see gitlink:git-rev-parse[1]). Namely:
+refname expressions (see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]). Namely:
. double-dot `..` are often used as in `ref1..ref2`, and in some
context this notation means `{caret}ref1 ref2` (i.e. not in
. colon `:` is used as in `srcref:dstref` to mean "use srcref\'s
value and store it in dstref" in fetch and push operations.
It may also be used to select a specific object such as with
- gitlink:git-cat-file[1] "git-cat-file blob v1.3.3:refs.c".
+ linkgit:git-cat-file[1] "git-cat-file blob v1.3.3:refs.c".
