+// Validate validates a reference name.
+// This follows the git-check-ref-format rules.
+// See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-ref-format
+//
+// It is important to note that this function does not check if the reference
+// exists in the repository.
+// It only checks if the reference name is valid.
+// This functions does not support the --refspec-pattern, --normalize, and
+// --allow-onelevel options.
+//
+// Git imposes the following rules on how references are named:
+//
+//  1. They can include slash / for hierarchical (directory) grouping, but no
+//     slash-separated component can begin with a dot . or end with the
+//     sequence .lock.
+//  2. They must contain at least one /. This enforces the presence of a
+//     category like heads/, tags/ etc. but the actual names are not
+//     restricted. If the --allow-onelevel option is used, this rule is
+//     waived.
+//  3. They cannot have two consecutive dots .. anywhere.
+//  4. They cannot have ASCII control characters (i.e. bytes whose values are
+//     lower than \040, or \177 DEL), space, tilde ~, caret ^, or colon :
+//     anywhere.
+//  5. They cannot have question-mark ?, asterisk *, or open bracket [
+//     anywhere. See the --refspec-pattern option below for an exception to this
+//     rule.
+//  6. They cannot begin or end with a slash / or contain multiple consecutive
+//     slashes (see the --normalize option below for an exception to this rule).
+//  7. They cannot end with a dot ..
+//  8. They cannot contain a sequence @{.
+//  9. They cannot be the single character @.
+//  10. They cannot contain a \.
