Is that a derived form of the refname, just like %(refname:short) that is 'master' for a ref whose %(refname) is 'refs/heads/master' is a derived form of %(refname), and ":short" is what tells the formatting machinery what kind of derivation is desired? If so would %(refname:dir) & %(refname:base) be more in line with the overall structure? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
