From: Karthik Nayak Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:42:08 +0000 (+0200) Subject: refs: move object parsing to the generic layer X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1438dca6ef964d03bc73e3670a8173870522d34c;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git refs: move object parsing to the generic layer Regular reference updates made via reference transactions validate that the provided object ID exists in the object database, which is done by calling 'parse_object()'. This check is done independently by the backends which leads to duplicated logic. Let's move this to the generic layer, ensuring the backends only have to care about reference storage and not about validation of the object IDs. With this also remove the 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_INVALID_NEW_VALUE' error type as its no longer used. Since we don't iterate over individual references in `ref_transaction_prepare()`, we add this check to `ref_transaction_update()`. This means that the validation is done as soon as an update is queued, without needing to prepare the transaction. It can be argued that this is more ideal, since this validation has no dependency on the reference transaction being prepared. It must be noted that the change in behavior means that this error cannot be ignored even with usage of batched updates, since this happens when the update is being added to the transaction. But since the caller gets specific error codes, they can either abort the transaction or continue adding other updates to the transaction. Modify 'builtin/receive-pack.c' to now capture the error type so that the error propagated to the client stays the same. Also remove two of the tests which validates batch-updates with invalid new_oid.
