Consider the example $ git for-each-ref refs/heads/bar refs/heads/foo refs/heads/main $ git for-each-ref --seek=refs/heads/cat refs/heads/foo refs/heads/main You can see that the reference doesn't have to exist. So implying that it should can be a bit confusing. But I'm open to changing this, if we can conclude on any flag name... > -- > Andreas Schwab, schwab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > GPG Key fingerprint = 7578 EB47 D4E5 4D69 2510 2552 DF73 E780 A9DA AEC1 > "And now for something completely different."
