Hmph, that even sounds like a bug.  parse_hide_refs_config() does
not seem to reject ref[] whose length is zero, and ref_is_hidden()
would just check "starts_with(refname, match)" with an empty string
as "match", so I would naively have expected that to work already.

Ahh, there is "if refname[len] is at the end or slash boundary"
check after that.  You're right--you'd need to tweak that one for it
to work.

That sounds like a good way to go.

Thanks.
