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

187 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

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

596 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
597 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
598 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
599 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
600 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
602 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
603 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
604 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
605 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
606 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
607 * transaction.
609 * new_target -- the target reference that the reference will be
610 * updated to point to. If the reference is a regular reference,
611 * it will be converted to a symbolic reference. Cannot be set
612 * together with `new_oid`. A copy of this value is made in the
613 * transaction.
615 * old_target -- the reference that the reference must be pointing to.

954 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
955 * will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
