13 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
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.
19 * If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
21 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
22 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
24 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

167 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

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

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

825 * Submodules
826 * ----------
828 * If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the
829 * submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like
830 * this:
832 * const char *path = "path/to/submodule"
833 * if (add_submodule_odb(path))
834 * die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
836 * `add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
837 * do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
838 * to a valid object.
840 * Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
841 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
842 * will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
844 * Example:
845 * --------
847 * ----
848 * static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
849 * const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
851 * struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
852 * strbuf_addf(output, "%s\n", refname);
853 * return 0;
859 * Return the ref_store instance for the specified submodule. For the
860 * main repository, use submodule==NULL; such a call cannot fail. For
861 * a submodule, the submodule must exist and be a nonbare repository,
862 * otherwise return NULL. If the requested reference store has not yet
863 * been initialized, initialize it first.
865 * For backwards compatibility, submodule=="" is treated the same as
866 * submodule==NULL.
