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

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

685 * transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained

688 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
690 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
691 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
692 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
693 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
694 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
696 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
697 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
698 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
699 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
700 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
703 * new_target -- the target reference that the reference will be
704 * updated to point to. If the reference is a regular reference,
705 * it will be converted to a symbolic reference. Cannot be set
706 * together with `new_oid`. A copy of this value is made in the
709 * old_target -- the reference that the reference must be pointing to.
710 * Canont be set together with `old_oid`. A copy of this value is
711 * made in the transaction.
713 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
714 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
715 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
718 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
720 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
721 * might have occurred.
723 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
724 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.

786 * changed at all. `old_oid` is the value that the reference must have
787 * before the update, or `null_oid` if it must not have existed
788 * beforehand. The old value is checked after the lock is taken to
789 * prevent races. If the old value doesn't agree with old_oid, the
790 * whole transaction fails. If old_oid is NULL, then the previous
791 * value is not checked. If `old_target` is not NULL, treat the reference
792 * as a symbolic ref and validate that its target before the update is
