39 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic references.
40 *
41 * Return the name of the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed
42 * at the resolved object name. The return value, if not NULL, is a
43 * pointer into either a static buffer or the input ref.
44 *
45 * If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
46 *
47 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
48 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
49 *
50 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
51 *
52 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear oid and return the name of
53 * the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
54 * reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
55 * "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
56 * that will actually be created or changed.
57 *
58 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
59 * level of symbolic reference. The value stored in oid for a symbolic
60 * reference will always be null_oid in this case, and the return
61 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
62 *
63 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
64 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
65 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
66 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
67 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
68 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
69 * on each flag.
70 *
71 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
72 * NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
73 * give up and return NULL.
74 *
75 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
76 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
77 * is bad then the value stored in oid will be null_oid and the two
78 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
79 *
80 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
81 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
82 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
83 * Caps and underscores refers to the pseudorefs, such as HEAD,
84 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

246 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

248 *
249 * Calling sequence
250 * ----------------
251 *
252 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
253 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
254 *
255 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
256 * following functions:
257 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
258 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
259 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
260 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
261 *
262 * - Then either:
263 *
264 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
265 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
266 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
267 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
268 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
269 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
270 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
271 *
272 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
273 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
274 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
275 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
276 *
277 * Or
278 *
279 * - Call `ref_transaction_begin()` with REF_TRANSACTION_FLAG_INITIAL if the
280 * ref database is known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
281 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than without the flag.
282 *
283 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
284 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
285 *
286 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
287 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
288 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
289 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
290 *
291 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
292 *
293 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
294 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
295 * int ret = 0;
296 *
297 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, 0, &err);
298 * if (!transaction ||
299 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
300 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
301 * ...etc... ||
302 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
303 * error("%s", err.buf);
304 * ret = -1;
305 * }
306 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
307 * strbuf_release(&err);
308 * return ret;
309 *
310 * Error handling
311 * --------------
312 *
313 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
314 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
315 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
316 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
317 *
318 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
319 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
320 *
321 * Caveats
322 * -------
323 *
324 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
325 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
326 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
327 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

696 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
697 *
698 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
699 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
700 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
701 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
702 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
703 *
704 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
705 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
706 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
707 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
708 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
709 * transaction.
710 *
711 * new_target -- the target reference that the reference will be
712 * updated to point to. If the reference is a regular reference,
713 * it will be converted to a symbolic reference. Cannot be set
714 * together with `new_oid`. A copy of this value is made in the

716 *
717 * old_target -- the reference that the reference must be pointing to.
718 * Canont be set together with `old_oid`. A copy of this value is
719 * made in the transaction.
720 *
721 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
722 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
723 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
724 * information.
725 *
726 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
727 *
728 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
729 * might have occurred.
730 *
731 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the

1075 * If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the
1076 * submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like
1077 * this:
1078 *
1079 * const char *path = "path/to/submodule"
1080 * if (add_submodule_odb(path))
1081 * die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
1082 *
1083 * `add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
1084 * do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
1085 * to a valid object.
1086 *
1087 * Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
1088 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
1089 * will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
1090 *
1091 * Example:
1092 * --------
1093 *
1094 * ----
1095 * static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
1096 * const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
1097 * {
1098 * struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
1099 * strbuf_addf(output, "%s\n", refname);
1100 * return 0;
1101 * }
1102 *

1233 * Reference iterators
1234 *
1235 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
1236 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
1237 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
1238 *
1239 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
1240 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
1241 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
1242 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
1243 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
1244 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
1245 * ref_iterator_free(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
1246 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
1247 * associated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
1248 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
1249 * ref_iterator_free(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
1250 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
1251 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
1252 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
1253 *
1254 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
1255 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
1256 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
1257 *
1258 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
1259 *
1260 * int ok;
1261 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
1262 *
1263 * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {

1265 * ok = ITER_DONE;
