5 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
6 *
7 * Store the referred-to object's name in sha1 and return the name of
8 * the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed at it. The
9 * return value, if not NULL, is a pointer into either a static buffer
10 * or the input ref.
11 *
12 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
13 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
14 *
15 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
16 *
17 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear sha1 and return the name of
18 * the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
19 * reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
20 * "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
21 * that will actually be created or changed.
22 *
23 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
24 * level of symbolic reference. The value stored in sha1 for a symbolic
25 * reference will always be null_sha1 in this case, and the return
26 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
27 *
28 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
29 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
30 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
31 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
32 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
33 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
34 * on each flag.
35 *
36 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
37 * NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
38 * give up and return NULL.
39 *
40 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
41 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
42 * is bad then the value stored in sha1 will be null_sha1 and the two
43 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
44 *
45 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
46 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
47 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
48 * Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
49 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

99 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of ref updates
100 * that should succeed or fail together.
101 *
102 * Calling sequence
103 * ----------------
104 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
105 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
106 *
107 * - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
108 * `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
109 *
110 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
111 * If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
112 * the transaction cannot be rolled back.
113 *
49386868
DT
114 * - Instead of `ref_transaction_commit`, use
115 * `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is known
116 * to be empty (e.g. during clone). This is likely to be much
117 * faster.
118 *
b416af5b
RS
119 * - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
120 * transaction and free associated resources. In particular,
121 * this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
122 * successfully committed.
123 *
124 * Error handling
125 * --------------
126 *
127 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
128 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
129 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
130 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
131 *
132 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
133 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
49386868
DT
134 *
135 * Caveats
136 * -------
137 *
138 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
139 * `ref_transaction_commit` is called. So `ref_transaction_verify`
140 * won't report a verification failure until the commit is attempted.
