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

173 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

176 * Calling sequence
177 * ----------------
179 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
180 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
182 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
183 * following functions:
184 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
185 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
186 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
187 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
189 * - Then either:
191 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
192 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
193 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
194 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
195 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
196 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
197 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
199 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
200 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
201 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
202 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
204 * Or
206 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
207 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
208 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
209 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
210 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
212 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
213 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
215 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
216 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
217 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
218 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
220 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
222 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
223 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
224 * int ret = 0;
226 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
227 * if (!transaction ||
228 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
229 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
230 * ...etc... ||
231 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
232 * error("%s", err.buf);
233 * ret = -1;
235 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
236 * strbuf_release(&err);
237 * return ret;
239 * Error handling
240 * --------------
242 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
243 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
244 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
245 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
247 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
248 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
250 * Caveats
251 * -------
253 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
254 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
255 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
256 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

586 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
587 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
588 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
590 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
591 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
592 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
593 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
594 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
595 * transaction.
597 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
598 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
599 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
600 * information.
602 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).

903 * Submodules
904 * ----------
906 * If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the
907 * submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like
908 * this:

911 * if (add_submodule_odb(path))
912 * die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
914 * `add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
915 * do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
916 * to a valid object.
918 * Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
919 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
920 * will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
922 * Example:
923 * --------
925 * ----
926 * static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
927 * const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
929 * struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
