229 * type (leaving sha1 unchanged). The caller is responsible for
230 * validating that referent is a valid reference name.

232 * WARNING: refname might be used as part of a filename, so it is
233 * important from a security standpoint that it be safe in the sense
234 * of refname_is_safe(). Moreover, for symrefs this function sets

236 * properly-formatted or even safe reference name. NEITHER INPUT NOR

239 * Return 0 on success. If the ref doesn't exist, set errno to ENOENT
240 * and return -1. If the ref exists but is neither a symbolic ref nor

251 * overwritten and the memory formerly pointed to by it might be
