The name of the branch that this exception applies to. Name matching is case insensitive. This name can be a comma separated list of names. The name can include Ant style wildcards. Prefixing a name with ! will invert the match. (If you have an actual branch name that starts with ! or \! you will need to escape it with a leading \. The escape only applies to the first character of the name.) Some examples:

• production matches one and only one branch
• sandbox/* will match sandbox/acme but not sandbox/coyote/wiley
• sandbox/** will match sandbox/acme and sandbox/coyote/wiley
• production,staging matches two specific branches
• production,staging* matches the production branch and any branch starting with staging
• !staging/**,staging/test/** matches any branch that is not the a staging branch, but will match the staging/test branches
• \!starts-with-invert matches the branch with the name !starts-with-invert
• \\!starts-with-escape matches the branch with the name \!starts-with-escape
• \escape-only-for-invert matches the branch with the name \escape-only-for-invert
• no-internal-!-escape matches the branch with the name no-internal-!-escape
• no-internal-\-escape matches the branch with the name no-internal-\-escape
