260 * Reference iterators
261 *
262 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
263 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
264 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
265 *
266 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
267 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
268 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
269 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
270 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
271 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
272 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
273 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
274 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
275 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
276 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
277 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
278 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
279 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
280 *
281 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
282 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
283 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
284 *
285 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
286 *
287 * int ok;
288 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
289 *
290 * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {

293 * break;
294 * }

297 * if (!(iter->flags & REF_ISSYMREF))

556 * validating that referent is a valid reference name.
557 *
558 * WARNING: refname might be used as part of a filename, so it is
559 * important from a security standpoint that it be safe in the sense
560 * of refname_is_safe(). Moreover, for symrefs this function sets
561 * referent to whatever the repository says, which might not be a
562 * properly-formatted or even safe reference name. NEITHER INPUT NOR
563 * OUTPUT REFERENCE NAMES ARE VALIDATED WITHIN THIS FUNCTION.
564 *
565 * Return 0 on success. If the ref doesn't exist, set errno to ENOENT
566 * and return -1. If the ref exists but is neither a symbolic ref nor
567 * a sha1, it is broken; set REF_ISBROKEN in type, set errno to
568 * EINVAL, and return -1. If there is another error reading the ref,
569 * set errno appropriately and return -1.
570 *
571 * Backend-specific flags might be set in type as well, regardless of
572 * outcome.
573 *
574 * It is OK for refname to point into referent. If so:
575 *
576 * - if the function succeeds with REF_ISSYMREF, referent will be
577 * overwritten and the memory formerly pointed to by it might be
578 * changed or even freed.
579 *
580 * - in all other cases, referent will be untouched, and therefore
581 * refname will still be valid and unchanged.
