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
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.
62 * Callers should not inspect "errno" on failure, but rather pass in a
63 * "failure_errno" parameter, on failure the "errno" will indicate the
64 * type of failure encountered, but not necessarily one that came from
65 * a syscall. We might have faked it up.

181 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

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

661 * the reference should have after the update, or `null_oid` if it

665 * beforehand. The old value is checked after the lock is taken to
