5 * Function type for combining two notes annotating the same object.
7 * When adding a new note annotating the same object as an existing note, it is
8 * up to the caller to decide how to combine the two notes. The decision is
9 * made by passing in a function of the following form. The function accepts
10 * two SHA1s -- of the existing note and the new note, respectively. The
11 * function then combines the notes in whatever way it sees fit, and writes the
12 * resulting SHA1 into the first SHA1 argument (cur_sha1). A non-zero return
13 * value indicates failure.
15 * The two given SHA1s must both be non-NULL and different from each other.
17 * The default combine_notes function (you get this when passing NULL) is
18 * combine_notes_concatenate(), which appends the contents of the new note to
19 * the contents of the existing note.
21 typedef int (*combine_notes_fn)(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);

26 int combine_notes_ignore(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);
29 * Notes tree object
31 * Encapsulates the internal notes tree structure associated with a notes ref.
32 * Whenever a struct notes_tree pointer is required below, you may pass NULL in
33 * order to use the default/internal notes tree. E.g. you only need to pass a
34 * non-NULL value if you need to refer to several different notes trees
35 * simultaneously.

47 * Flags controlling behaviour of notes tree initialization
49 * Default behaviour is to initialize the notes tree from the tree object
50 * specified by the given (or default) notes ref.
52 #define NOTES_INIT_EMPTY 1
55 * Initialize the given notes_tree with the notes tree structure at the given
56 * ref. If given ref is NULL, the value of the $GIT_NOTES_REF environment
57 * variable is used, and if that is missing, the default notes ref is used
58 * ("refs/notes/commits").
60 * If you need to re-intialize a notes_tree structure (e.g. when switching from
61 * one notes ref to another), you must first de-initialize the notes_tree
62 * structure by calling free_notes(struct notes_tree *).
64 * If you pass t == NULL, the default internal notes_tree will be initialized.
66 * The combine_notes function that is passed becomes the default combine_notes
67 * function for the given notes_tree. If NULL is passed, the default
68 * combine_notes function is combine_notes_concatenate().
70 * Precondition: The notes_tree structure is zeroed (this can be achieved with
71 * memset(t, 0, sizeof(struct notes_tree)))

79 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by add_note() to the given notes_tree structure
80 * are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree() returns
81 * zero.
83 void add_note(struct notes_tree *t, const unsigned char *object_sha1,

87 * Remove the given note object from the given notes_tree structure

104 * Copy a note from one object to another in the given notes_tree.
106 * Fails if the to_obj already has a note unless 'force' is true.

109 * are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree() returns
110 * zero.

117 * Flags controlling behaviour of for_each_note()
119 * Default behaviour of for_each_note() is to traverse every single note object
120 * in the given notes tree, unpacking subtree entries along the way.
121 * The following flags can be used to alter the default behaviour:
123 * - DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES causes for_each_note() NOT to unpack and recurse into
124 * subtree entries while traversing the notes tree. This causes notes within
125 * those subtrees NOT to be passed to the callback. Use this flag if you
126 * don't want to traverse _all_ notes, but only want to traverse the parts
127 * of the notes tree that have already been unpacked (this includes at least
128 * all notes that have been added/changed).
130 * - YIELD_SUBTREES causes any subtree entries that are encountered to be
131 * passed to the callback, before recursing into them. Subtree entries are
132 * not note objects, but represent intermediate directories in the notes
133 * tree. When passed to the callback, subtree entries will have a trailing
134 * slash in their path, which the callback may use to differentiate between
135 * note entries and subtree entries. Note that already-unpacked subtree
136 * entries are not part of the notes tree, and will therefore not be yielded.
137 * If this flag is used together with DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES, for_each_note()
138 * will yield the subtree entry, but not recurse into it.

141 #define FOR_EACH_NOTE_YIELD_SUBTREES 2
144 * Invoke the specified callback function for each note in the given notes_tree
146 * If the callback returns nonzero, the note walk is aborted, and the return
147 * value from the callback is returned from for_each_note(). Hence, a zero
148 * return value from for_each_note() indicates that all notes were walked
149 * successfully.
151 * IMPORTANT: The callback function is NOT allowed to change the notes tree.
152 * In other words, the following functions can NOT be invoked (on the current
153 * notes tree) from within the callback:
154 * - add_note()
155 * - remove_note()
156 * - copy_note()
157 * - free_notes()
