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

184 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

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

600 * Reference transaction updates
602 * The following four functions add a reference check or update to a
603 * ref_transaction. They have some common similar parameters:
605 * transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
606 * from ref_transaction_begin().
608 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
610 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
611 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
612 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
613 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
614 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
616 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
617 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
618 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
619 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
620 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
623 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
624 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
625 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
628 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
630 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
631 * might have occurred.
633 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
634 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
636 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
637 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
642 * The following flags can be passed to ref_transaction_update() etc.
643 * Internally, they are stored in `ref_update::flags`, along with some
648 * Act on the ref directly; i.e., without dereferencing symbolic refs.
649 * If this flag is not specified, then symbolic references are
650 * dereferenced and the update is applied to the referent.
652 #define REF_NO_DEREF (1 << 0)
655 * Force the creation of a reflog for this reference, even if it
656 * didn't previously have a reflog.
658 #define REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG (1 << 1)
661 * Blindly write an object_id. This is useful for testing data corruption
664 #define REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION (1 << 10)
667 * Skip verifying refname. This is useful for testing data corruption scenarios.
669 #define REF_SKIP_REFNAME_VERIFICATION (1 << 11)
672 * Bitmask of all of the flags that are allowed to be passed in to
673 * ref_transaction_update() and friends:
675 #define REF_TRANSACTION_UPDATE_ALLOWED_FLAGS \
676 (REF_NO_DEREF | REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG | REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION | \
677 REF_SKIP_REFNAME_VERIFICATION)
680 * Add a reference update to transaction. `new_oid` is the value that
681 * the reference should have after the update, or `null_oid` if it
682 * should be deleted. If `new_oid` is NULL, then the reference is not
683 * changed at all. `old_oid` is the value that the reference must have
684 * before the update, or `null_oid` if it must not have existed
685 * beforehand. The old value is checked after the lock is taken to
686 * prevent races. If the old value doesn't agree with old_oid, the
687 * whole transaction fails. If old_oid is NULL, then the previous
688 * value is not checked.
