5 * Function type for combining two notes annotating the same object.
7 * When adding a new note annotating the same object as an existing note, it is
8 * up to the caller to decide how to combine the two notes. The decision is
9 * made by passing in a function of the following form. The function accepts
10 * two SHA1s -- of the existing note and the new note, respectively. The
11 * function then combines the notes in whatever way it sees fit, and writes the
12 * resulting SHA1 into the first SHA1 argument (cur_sha1). A non-zero return
13 * value indicates failure.
15 * The two given SHA1s must both be non-NULL and different from each other.
17 * The default combine_notes function (you get this when passing NULL) is
18 * combine_notes_concatenate(), which appends the contents of the new note to
19 * the contents of the existing note.

24 int combine_notes_concatenate(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);

26 int combine_notes_ignore(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);
29 * Notes tree object
31 * Encapsulates the internal notes tree structure associated with a notes ref.
32 * Whenever a struct notes_tree pointer is required below, you may pass NULL in
33 * order to use the default/internal notes tree. E.g. you only need to pass a
34 * non-NULL value if you need to refer to several different notes trees
35 * simultaneously.

46 * Flags controlling behaviour of notes tree initialization
48 * Default behaviour is to initialize the notes tree from the tree object
49 * specified by the given (or default) notes ref.
51 #define NOTES_INIT_EMPTY 1
54 * Initialize the given notes_tree with the notes tree structure at the given
55 * ref. If given ref is NULL, the value of the $GIT_NOTES_REF environment
56 * variable is used, and if that is missing, the default notes ref is used
57 * ("refs/notes/commits").
59 * If you need to re-intialize a notes_tree structure (e.g. when switching from
60 * one notes ref to another), you must first de-initialize the notes_tree
61 * structure by calling free_notes(struct notes_tree *).
63 * If you pass t == NULL, the default internal notes_tree will be initialized.
65 * The combine_notes function that is passed becomes the default combine_notes
66 * function for the given notes_tree. If NULL is passed, the default
67 * combine_notes function is combine_notes_concatenate().
69 * Precondition: The notes_tree structure is zeroed (this can be achieved with
70 * memset(t, 0, sizeof(struct notes_tree)))

78 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by add_note() to the given notes_tree structure

80 * zero.

86 * Remove the given note object from the given notes_tree structure
88 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by remove_note() to the given notes_tree

90 * returns zero.

97 * Return NULL if the given object has no notes.
99 const unsigned char *get_note(struct notes_tree *t,

103 * Flags controlling behaviour of for_each_note()
105 * Default behaviour of for_each_note() is to traverse every single note object
106 * in the given notes tree, unpacking subtree entries along the way.
107 * The following flags can be used to alter the default behaviour:
109 * - DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES causes for_each_note() NOT to unpack and recurse into
110 * subtree entries while traversing the notes tree. This causes notes within
111 * those subtrees NOT to be passed to the callback. Use this flag if you
112 * don't want to traverse _all_ notes, but only want to traverse the parts
113 * of the notes tree that have already been unpacked (this includes at least
114 * all notes that have been added/changed).
116 * - YIELD_SUBTREES causes any subtree entries that are encountered to be
117 * passed to the callback, before recursing into them. Subtree entries are
118 * not note objects, but represent intermediate directories in the notes
119 * tree. When passed to the callback, subtree entries will have a trailing
120 * slash in their path, which the callback may use to differentiate between
121 * note entries and subtree entries. Note that already-unpacked subtree
122 * entries are not part of the notes tree, and will therefore not be yielded.
123 * If this flag is used together with DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES, for_each_note()
124 * will yield the subtree entry, but not recurse into it.
126 #define FOR_EACH_NOTE_DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES 1
127 #define FOR_EACH_NOTE_YIELD_SUBTREES 2
130 * Invoke the specified callback function for each note in the given notes_tree
132 * If the callback returns nonzero, the note walk is aborted, and the return
133 * value from the callback is returned from for_each_note(). Hence, a zero
134 * return value from for_each_note() indicates that all notes were walked
135 * successfully.
137 * IMPORTANT: The callback function is NOT allowed to change the notes tree.
138 * In other words, the following functions can NOT be invoked (on the current
139 * notes tree) from within the callback:
140 * - add_note()
141 * - remove_note()
142 * - free_notes()

153 * Creates a new tree object encapsulating the current state of the given
154 * notes_tree, and stores its SHA1 into the 'result' argument.
156 * Returns zero on success, non-zero on failure.
158 * IMPORTANT: Changes made to the given notes_tree are not persistent until
159 * this function has returned zero. Please also remember to create a
160 * corresponding commit object, and update the appropriate notes ref.

165 * Remove all notes annotating non-existing objects from the given notes tree
167 * All notes in the given notes_tree that are associated with objects that no
168 * longer exist in the database, are removed from the notes tree.
170 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by prune_notes() to the given notes_tree
171 * structure are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree()
172 * returns zero.
