//! Refspec parsing and validation — a port of `git/refspec.c`.
//!
//! A *refspec* describes how references map between a local and a remote
//! repository.  It has the general form `[+|^]<src>[:<dst>]`.  This module
//! parses a single refspec string and validates it according to the same rules
//! as Git's `parse_refspec()`, distinguishing fetch refspecs from push
//! refspecs (the two have slightly different validity rules).
//!
//! The primary entry points are [`parse_fetch_refspec`] and
//! [`parse_push_refspec`], which return [`RefspecItem`] on success or
//! [`RefspecError::Invalid`] when the refspec is malformed.  Callers that only
//! care about validity (for example loading `remote.<name>.fetch` /
//! `remote.<name>.push` config) can use [`valid_fetch_refspec`] and
//! [`valid_push_refspec`].
