10 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
12 * Store the referred-to object's name in sha1 and return the name of
13 * the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed at it. The
14 * return value, if not NULL, is a pointer into either a static buffer
15 * or the input ref.
17 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
18 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
20 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
22 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear sha1 and return the name of
23 * the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
24 * reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
25 * "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
26 * that will actually be created or changed.
28 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
29 * level of symbolic reference. The value stored in sha1 for a symbolic
30 * reference will always be null_sha1 in this case, and the return
31 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
33 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
34 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
35 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
36 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
37 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
38 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
39 * on each flag.
41 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
42 * NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
43 * give up and return NULL.
45 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
46 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
47 * is bad then the value stored in sha1 will be null_sha1 and the two
48 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
50 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
51 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
52 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
53 * Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
54 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

109 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of ref updates
110 * that should succeed or fail together.
112 * Calling sequence
113 * ----------------
114 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
115 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
117 * - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
118 * `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
120 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
121 * If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
122 * the transaction cannot be rolled back.
124 * - Instead of `ref_transaction_commit`, use
125 * `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is known
126 * to be empty (e.g. during clone). This is likely to be much
127 * faster.
129 * - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
130 * transaction and free associated resources. In particular,
131 * this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
132 * successfully committed.
134 * Error handling
135 * --------------
137 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
138 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
139 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
140 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
142 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
143 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
145 * Caveats
146 * -------
148 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
149 * `ref_transaction_commit` is called. So `ref_transaction_verify`
150 * won't report a verification failure until the commit is attempted.

364 * from ref_transaction_begin().
366 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
368 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
369 * update_ref_lock(). Can be REF_NODEREF, which means that
370 * symbolic references should not be followed.
372 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
374 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
375 * might have occurred.
377 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
378 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
380 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
381 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
382 * to be rolled back.

387 * the reference should have after the update, or null_sha1 if it
388 * should be deleted. If new_sha1 is NULL, then the reference is not
389 * changed at all. old_sha1 is the value that the reference must have

391 * beforehand. The old value is checked after the lock is taken to
392 * prevent races. If the old value doesn't agree with old_sha1, the
