251 * Reference iterators
252 *
253 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
254 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
255 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
256 *
257 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
258 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
259 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
260 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
261 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
262 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
263 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
264 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
265 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
266 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
267 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
268 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
269 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
270 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
271 *
272 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
273 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
274 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
275 *
276 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
277 *
278 * int ok;
279 * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
280 *
281 * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
282 * if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {
283 * ok = ref_iterator_abort(iter);
284 * break;
285 * }
286 *
287 * // Access information about the current reference:
288 * if (!(iter->flags & REF_ISSYMREF))

600 * WARNING: refname might be used as part of a filename, so it is

602 * of refname_is_safe(). Moreover, for symrefs this function sets

608 * and return -1. If the ref exists but is neither a symbolic ref nor
99afe91a 609 * an object ID, it is broken; set REF_ISBROKEN in type, set errno to

616 * It is OK for refname to point into referent. If so:
