hello guys,

I tested the script mentioned in update-hook-example.txt and noticed,
that the following line in allowed-users

refs/heads/tmp/         *

and the if-clause above 

matchlen=$(expr "$1" : "$head_pattern")
if [ "$matchlen" == "${#1}" ]; then

does not recognize the header

refs/heads/tmp/blah

... so, all users trying to update or create branches named
tmp/<insert_fancy_name_here> are denied, because nothing matches.

also the example case in which linus should be allowed to push and
create branches bw/blah and bw/blupp doesn't work.

If I try following rule in allowed-users

refs/heads/tmp 		*

and someone tries to commit refs/heads/tmp, it works as intended.

This is at least in bash 3.1.2.5 ... (i tested that on my powerbook this
week end). Perhaps it worked in November 2005. I don't know which
version of bash was the latest then.

For all other examples in this document, it grants and denies pushing
and creating branches as intended.

I haven't tried the tag-case yet.... could be, that this also doesn't
work anymore.

Greetings
Nicolas
