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

180 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
181 * should succeed or fail together.
183 * Calling sequence
184 * ----------------
186 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
187 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
189 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
190 * following functions:
191 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
192 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
193 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
194 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
196 * - Then either:
198 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
199 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
200 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
201 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
202 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
203 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
204 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
206 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
207 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
208 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
209 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
211 * Or
213 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
214 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
215 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
216 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
217 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
219 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
220 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
222 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
223 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
224 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
225 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
227 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
229 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
230 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
231 * int ret = 0;
233 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
234 * if (!transaction ||
235 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
236 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
237 * ...etc... ||
238 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
239 * error("%s", err.buf);
240 * ret = -1;
242 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
243 * strbuf_release(&err);
244 * return ret;
246 * Error handling
247 * --------------
249 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
250 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
251 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
252 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
254 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
255 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
257 * Caveats
258 * -------
260 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
261 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
262 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
263 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

591 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or

907 * Submodules
908 * ----------

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

916 * die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
918 * `add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
919 * do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
920 * to a valid object.
922 * Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
923 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
924 * will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.

927 * --------
929 * ----
930 * static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
931 * const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
933 * struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
