Since when can refnames contain spaces? In my copy of git, bad_ref_char()
in refs.c returns 1 if ch <= ' '. It's the first error path, even.
Oops, I'm clearly an idiot. I explicitly looked at bad_ref_char before
writing the original message, and somehow read that as strictly less
than.
So the parsing problem goes away, and I think using the sort order as a
hint takes away the potential performance problem (I don't even know if
it was a problem -- there may be other O(n^2) behavior).
I will take a look at the tests Alex has been working on, maybe add a
few to it, and submit a cleaned-up series.
Thanks.
