Series for-each-ref: print all refs on empty string pattern | expand

Commit Message

karthik nayak Jan. 24, 2024, 3:27 p.m. UTC
When the user uses an empty string pattern (""), we don't match any refs
in git-for-each-ref(1). This is because in git-for-each-ref(1), we use
path based matching and an empty string doesn't match any path.

In this commit we change this behavior by making empty string pattern
match all references. This is done by introducing a new flag
`FILTER_REFS_NO_FILTER` in `ref-filter.c`, which uses the newly
introduced `refs_for_each_all_refs()` function to iterate over all the
refs in the repository.
