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

178 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
179 * should succeed or fail together.
180 *
181 * Calling sequence
182 * ----------------
183 *
184 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
185 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
186 *
187 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
188 * following functions:
189 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
190 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
191 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
192 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
193 *
194 * - Then either:
195 *
196 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
197 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
198 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
199 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
200 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
201 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
202 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
203 *
204 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
205 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
206 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
207 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
208 *
209 * Or
210 *
211 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
212 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
213 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
214 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
215 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
216 *
217 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
218 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
219 *
220 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
221 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
222 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
223 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
224 *
225 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
226 *
227 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
228 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
229 * int ret = 0;
230 *
231 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
232 * if (!transaction ||
233 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
234 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
235 * ...etc... ||
236 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
237 * error("%s", err.buf);
238 * ret = -1;
239 * }
240 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
241 * strbuf_release(&err);
242 * return ret;
243 *
244 * Error handling
245 * --------------
246 *
247 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
248 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
249 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
250 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
251 *
252 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
253 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
254 *
255 * Caveats
256 * -------
257 *
258 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
259 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
260 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
261 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

640 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
641 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A

643 *
644 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
645 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
646 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
647 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
648 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
649 * transaction.
650 *
651 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
652 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
653 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
654 * information.
655 *
656 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
657 *
658 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
659 * might have occurred.
660 *
661 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
662 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
663 *
664 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
