18 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
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.
24 * If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
26 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
27 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
29 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 special refs, such as HEAD,
63 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

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

609 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
610 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or

612 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.

615 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
616 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
617 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
618 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
619 * transaction.
621 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
622 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
623 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more

628 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
629 * might have occurred.
631 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
632 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.

636 * to be rolled back.

642 * internal flags.

648 * dereferenced and the update is applied to the referent.

933 * Submodules
934 * ----------

937 * submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like
938 * this:

941 * if (add_submodule_odb(path))
942 * die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
944 * `add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
945 * do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
946 * to a valid object.
948 * Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
949 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
950 * will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
952 * Example:
953 * --------
955 * ----
956 * static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
957 * const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
959 * struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
