 * Reference iterators
 *
 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress

 *
 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
 * associated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
 *
 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
 *
 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
 *
 *     int ok;
 *     struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
 *
 *     while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
