There were two places the term reference was used: 1. As the "tag or digest" parameter in the manifest endpoints. This was changed to "tag-or-digest". 2. As the returned location to upload blobs. This was changed to "blob-push-location". This change removes confusion with the "reference" term in the OCI ecosystem that represents that string that identifies an image, including the registry, repository, and identifier. For context, see https://github.com/distribution/reference. Signed-off-by: Brandon Mitchell <git@bmitch.net>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I kind of love that these are in the opposite order; "<tag-or-digest> must be .. a digest or a tag" 😂
