Jeff King edf80d23f1 ci: deprecate ci/config/allow-ref script
Now that we have the CI_BRANCHES mechanism, there is no need for anybody
to use the ci/config/allow-ref mechanism. In the long run, we can
hopefully remove it and the whole "config" job, as it consumes CPU and
adds to the end-to-end latency of the whole workflow. But we don't want
to do that immediately, as people need time to migrate until the
CI_BRANCHES change has made it into the workflow file of every branch.

So let's issue a warning, which will appear in the "annotations" section
below the workflow result in GitHub's web interface. And let's remove
the sample allow-refs script, as we don't want to encourage anybody to
use it.

README ci: allow branch selection through "vars" 2023-08-30 15:56:09 -07:00

README

You can configure some aspects of the GitHub Actions-based CI on a
per-repository basis by setting "variables" and "secrets" from with the
GitHub web interface. These can be found at:

  https://github.com/<user>/git/settings/secrets/actions

The following variables can be used:

 - CI_BRANCHES

   By default, CI is run when any branch is pushed. If this variable is
   non-empty, then only the branches it lists will run CI. Branch names
   should be separated by spaces, and should use their shortened form
   (e.g., "main", not "refs/heads/main").
