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

169 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
170 * should succeed or fail together.
171 *
172 * Calling sequence
173 * ----------------
174 *
175 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
176 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
177 *
178 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
179 * following functions:
180 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
181 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
182 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
183 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
184 *
185 * - Then either:
186 *
187 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
188 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
189 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
190 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
191 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
192 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
193 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
194 *
195 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
196 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
197 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
198 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
199 *
200 * Or
201 *
202 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
203 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
204 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
205 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
206 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
207 *
208 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
209 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
210 *
211 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
212 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
213 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
214 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
215 *
216 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
217 *
218 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
219 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
220 * int ret = 0;
221 *
222 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
223 * if (!transaction ||
224 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
225 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
226 * ...etc... ||
227 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
228 * error("%s", err.buf);
229 * ret = -1;
230 * }
231 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
232 * strbuf_release(&err);
233 * return ret;
234 *
235 * Error handling
236 * --------------
237 *
238 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
239 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
240 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
241 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
242 *
243 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
244 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
245 *
246 * Caveats
247 * -------
248 *
249 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
250 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
251 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
252 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

540 * Reference transaction updates

542 * The following four functions add a reference check or update to a
543 * ref_transaction. They have some common similar parameters:
544 *
545 * transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
546 * from ref_transaction_begin().
547 *
548 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
549 *
550 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
551 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
552 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
553 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
554 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
555 *
556 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
557 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
558 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
559 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
560 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
561 * transaction.
562 *
563 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
564 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
565 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
566 * information.
567 *
568 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
569 *
570 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
571 * might have occurred.
572 *
573 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
574 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
575 *
576 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
577 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
578 * to be rolled back.

843 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
