10 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
11 *
12 * Store the referred-to object's name in sha1 and return the name of
13 * the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed at it. The
14 * return value, if not NULL, is a pointer into either a static buffer
15 * or the input ref.
16 *
17 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
18 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
19 *
20 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
21 *
22 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear sha1 and return the name of
23 * the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
24 * reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
25 * "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
26 * that will actually be created or changed.
27 *
28 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
29 * level of symbolic reference. The value stored in sha1 for a symbolic
30 * reference will always be null_sha1 in this case, and the return
31 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
32 *
33 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
34 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
35 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
36 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
37 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
38 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
39 * on each flag.
40 *
41 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
42 * NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
43 * give up and return NULL.
44 *
45 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
46 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
47 * is bad then the value stored in sha1 will be null_sha1 and the two
48 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
49 *
50 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
51 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
52 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
53 * Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
54 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

109 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of ref updates
110 * that should succeed or fail together.
111 *
112 * Calling sequence
113 * ----------------
114 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
115 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
116 *
117 * - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
118 * `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
119 *
120 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
121 * If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
122 * the transaction cannot be rolled back.
123 *
49386868
DT
124 * - Instead of `ref_transaction_commit`, use
125 * `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is known
126 * to be empty (e.g. during clone). This is likely to be much
127 * faster.
128 *
b416af5b
RS
129 * - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
130 * transaction and free associated resources. In particular,
131 * this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
132 * successfully committed.
133 *
134 * Error handling
135 * --------------
136 *
137 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
138 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
139 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
140 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
141 *
142 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
143 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
49386868
DT
144 *
145 * Caveats
146 * -------
147 *
148 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
149 * `ref_transaction_commit` is called. So `ref_transaction_verify`
150 * won't report a verification failure until the commit is attempted.
