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.

177 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

180 * Calling sequence
181 * ----------------
183 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
184 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
186 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
187 * following functions:
188 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
189 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
190 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
191 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
193 * - Then either:
195 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
196 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
197 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
198 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
199 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
200 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
201 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
203 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
204 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
205 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
206 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
208 * Or
210 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
211 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
212 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
213 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
214 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
216 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
217 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
219 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
220 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
221 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
222 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
224 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
226 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
227 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
228 * int ret = 0;
230 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
231 * if (!transaction ||
232 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
233 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
234 * ...etc... ||
235 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
236 * error("%s", err.buf);
237 * ret = -1;
239 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
240 * strbuf_release(&err);
241 * return ret;
243 * Error handling
244 * --------------
246 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
247 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
248 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
249 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
251 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
252 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
254 * Caveats
255 * -------
257 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
258 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
259 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
260 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

550 * The following four functions add a reference check or update to a

553 * transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
554 * from ref_transaction_begin().
556 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
558 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
559 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
560 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
561 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
562 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
564 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
565 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
566 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
567 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
568 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
569 * transaction.
571 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
572 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
573 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
574 * information.
576 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
578 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
579 * might have occurred.
581 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
582 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
584 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
585 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
586 * to be rolled back.
590 * The following flags can be passed to ref_transaction_update() etc.
591 * Internally, they are stored in `ref_update::flags`, along with some
592 * internal flags.
596 * Act on the ref directly; i.e., without dereferencing symbolic refs.
597 * If this flag is not specified, then symbolic references are
598 * dereferenced and the update is applied to the referent.
600 #define REF_NO_DEREF (1 << 0)
603 * Force the creation of a reflog for this reference, even if it
604 * didn't previously have a reflog.

835 * Submodules
836 * ----------
838 * If you want to iterate the refs of a submodule you first need to add the
839 * submodules object database. You can do this by a code-snippet like
840 * this:
842 * const char *path = "path/to/submodule"
843 * if (add_submodule_odb(path))
844 * die("Error submodule '%s' not populated.", path);
846 * `add_submodule_odb()` will return zero on success. If you
847 * do not do this you will get an error for each ref that it does not point
848 * to a valid object.
850 * Note: As a side-effect of this you cannot safely assume that all
851 * objects you lookup are available in superproject. All submodule objects
852 * will be available the same way as the superprojects objects.
854 * Example:
855 * --------
857 * ----
858 * static int handle_remote_ref(const char *refname,
859 * const unsigned char *sha1, int flags, void *cb_data)
861 * struct strbuf *output = cb_data;
862 * strbuf_addf(output, "%s\n", refname);
863 * return 0;
869 * Return the ref_store instance for the specified submodule. For the
870 * main repository, use submodule==NULL; such a call cannot fail. For
871 * a submodule, the submodule must exist and be a nonbare repository,
872 * otherwise return NULL. If the requested reference store has not yet
873 * been initialized, initialize it first.
875 * For backwards compatibility, submodule=="" is treated the same as
876 * submodule==NULL.
