11 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
12 *
54fad661
RS
13 * Return the name of the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed
14 * at the resolved object name. The return value, if not NULL, is a
15 * pointer into either a static buffer or the input ref.
16 *
49e61479 17 * If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
fb58c8d5
MH
18 *
19 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
20 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
21 *
22 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
23 *
49e61479 24 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear oid and return the name of
fb58c8d5
MH
25 * the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
26 * reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
27 * "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
28 * that will actually be created or changed.
29 *
30 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
49e61479 31 * level of symbolic reference. The value stored in oid for a symbolic
32 * reference will always be null_oid in this case, and the return
fb58c8d5
MH
33 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
34 *
35 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
36 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
37 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
38 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
39 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
40 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
41 * on each flag.
42 *
43 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
44 * NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
45 * give up and return NULL.
46 *
47 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
48 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
49e61479 49 * is bad then the value stored in oid will be null_oid and the two
fb58c8d5
MH
50 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
51 *
52 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
53 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
54 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
55 * Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
56 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

147 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
148 * should succeed or fail together.
b416af5b
RS
149 *
150 * Calling sequence
151 * ----------------
30173b88 152 *
b416af5b
RS
153 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
154 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
155 *
30173b88
MH
156 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
157 * following functions:
158 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
159 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
160 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
161 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
162 *
163 * - Then either:
164 *
165 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
166 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
167 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
168 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
169 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
170 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
171 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
172 *
173 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
174 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
175 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
176 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
177 *
178 * Or
179 *
180 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
181 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
182 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
183 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
184 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
185 *
186 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
187 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
188 *
189 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
190 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
191 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
192 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
193 *
194 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
195 *
196 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
197 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
198 * int ret = 0;
199 *
200 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
201 * if (!transaction ||
202 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
203 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
204 * ...etc... ||
205 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
206 * error("%s", err.buf);
207 * ret = -1;
208 * }
209 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
210 * strbuf_release(&err);
211 * return ret;
b416af5b
RS
212 *
213 * Error handling
214 * --------------
215 *
216 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
217 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
218 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
219 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
220 *
221 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
222 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
49386868
DT
223 *
224 * Caveats
225 * -------
226 *
227 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
30173b88
MH
228 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
229 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
230 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

483 *
484 * transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
485 * from ref_transaction_begin().
486 *
487 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
488 *
5ac95fee
MH
489 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
490 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
fd2ce9c0 491 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
5ac95fee 492 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
fd2ce9c0
MH
493 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
494 *
5ac95fee 495 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
fd2ce9c0
MH
496 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
497 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
5ac95fee 498 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
fd2ce9c0
MH
499 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
500 * transaction.
501 *
d1dd721f 502 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
91774afc 503 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
5ac95fee
MH
504 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
505 * information.
d1dd721f
MH
506 *
507 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
508 *
509 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
dc72b500 510 * might have occurred.
d1dd721f
MH
511 *
512 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
513 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
514 *

516 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
