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

154 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

157 * Calling sequence
158 * ----------------
160 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
161 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
163 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
164 * following functions:
165 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
166 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
167 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
168 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
170 * - Then either:
172 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
173 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
174 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
175 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
176 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
177 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
178 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
180 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
181 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
182 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
183 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
185 * Or
187 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
188 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
189 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
190 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
191 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
193 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
194 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
196 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
197 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
198 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
199 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
201 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
203 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
204 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
205 * int ret = 0;
207 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
208 * if (!transaction ||
209 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
210 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
211 * ...etc... ||
212 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
213 * error("%s", err.buf);
214 * ret = -1;
216 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
217 * strbuf_release(&err);
218 * return ret;
220 * Error handling
221 * --------------
223 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
224 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
225 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
226 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
228 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
229 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
231 * Caveats
232 * -------
234 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
235 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
236 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
237 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

488 * The following four functions add a reference check or update to a

491 * transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
492 * from ref_transaction_begin().
494 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
496 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
497 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
498 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
499 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
500 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
502 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
503 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
504 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
505 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
506 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
507 * transaction.
509 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
510 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
511 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
512 * information.
514 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
516 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
517 * might have occurred.
519 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
520 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
522 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
523 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
524 * to be rolled back.
528 * The following flags can be passed to ref_transaction_update() etc.
529 * Internally, they are stored in `ref_update::flags`, along with some
530 * internal flags.
534 * Act on the ref directly; i.e., without dereferencing symbolic refs.
