7 * Function type for combining two notes annotating the same object.
9 * When adding a new note annotating the same object as an existing note, it is
10 * up to the caller to decide how to combine the two notes. The decision is
11 * made by passing in a function of the following form. The function accepts
12 * two SHA1s -- of the existing note and the new note, respectively. The
13 * function then combines the notes in whatever way it sees fit, and writes the
14 * resulting SHA1 into the first SHA1 argument (cur_sha1). A non-zero return
15 * value indicates failure.
17 * The two given SHA1s shall both be non-NULL and different from each other.
18 * Either of them (but not both) may be == null_sha1, which indicates an
19 * empty/non-existent note. If the resulting SHA1 (cur_sha1) is == null_sha1,
20 * the note will be removed from the notes tree.
22 * The default combine_notes function (you get this when passing NULL) is
23 * combine_notes_concatenate(), which appends the contents of the new note to
24 * the contents of the existing note.
26 typedef int (*combine_notes_fn)(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);

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

54 * Return the default notes ref.
56 * The default notes ref is the notes ref that is used when notes_ref == NULL
57 * is passed to init_notes().
59 * This the first of the following to be defined:
60 * 1. The '--ref' option to 'git notes', if given
61 * 2. The $GIT_NOTES_REF environment variable, if set
62 * 3. The value of the core.notesRef config variable, if set
63 * 4. GIT_NOTES_DEFAULT_REF (i.e. "refs/notes/commits")
65 const char *default_notes_ref(void);
68 * Flags controlling behaviour of notes tree initialization
70 * Default behaviour is to initialize the notes tree from the tree object
71 * specified by the given (or default) notes ref.
73 #define NOTES_INIT_EMPTY 1
76 * By default, the notes tree is only readable, and the notes ref can be
77 * any treeish. The notes tree can however be made writable with this flag,
78 * in which case only strict ref names can be used.
80 #define NOTES_INIT_WRITABLE 2
83 * Initialize the given notes_tree with the notes tree structure at the given
84 * ref. If given ref is NULL, the value of the $GIT_NOTES_REF environment
85 * variable is used, and if that is missing, the default notes ref is used
86 * ("refs/notes/commits").
88 * If you need to re-initialize a notes_tree structure (e.g. when switching from
89 * one notes ref to another), you must first de-initialize the notes_tree
90 * structure by calling free_notes(struct notes_tree *).
92 * If you pass t == NULL, the default internal notes_tree will be initialized.
94 * The combine_notes function that is passed becomes the default combine_notes
95 * function for the given notes_tree. If NULL is passed, the default
96 * combine_notes function is combine_notes_concatenate().
98 * Precondition: The notes_tree structure is zeroed (this can be achieved with
99 * memset(t, 0, sizeof(struct notes_tree)))
101 void init_notes(struct notes_tree *t, const char *notes_ref,
102 combine_notes_fn combine_notes, int flags);
105 * Add the given note object to the given notes_tree structure
107 * If there already exists a note for the given object_sha1, the given
108 * combine_notes function is invoked to break the tie. If not given (i.e.
109 * combine_notes == NULL), the default combine_notes function for the given
110 * notes_tree is used.
112 * Passing note_sha1 == null_sha1 indicates the addition of an
113 * empty/non-existent note. This is a (potentially expensive) no-op unless
114 * there already exists a note for the given object_sha1, AND combining that
115 * note with the empty note (using the given combine_notes function) results
116 * in a new/changed note.
118 * Returns zero on success; non-zero means combine_notes failed.
120 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by add_note() to the given notes_tree structure
121 * are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree() returns
122 * zero.

130 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by remove_note() to the given notes_tree
131 * structure are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree()
132 * returns zero.
134 * Return 0 if a note was removed; 1 if there was no note to remove.
136 int remove_note(struct notes_tree *t, const unsigned char *object_sha1);

141 * Return NULL if the given object has no notes.

144 const unsigned char *object_sha1);
147 * Copy a note from one object to another in the given notes_tree.
149 * Returns 1 if the to_obj already has a note and 'force' is false. Otherwise,
150 * returns non-zero if 'force' is true, but the given combine_notes function
151 * failed to combine from_obj's note with to_obj's existing note.
152 * Returns zero on success.
154 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by copy_note() to the given notes_tree structure
155 * are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree() returns
156 * zero.

163 * Flags controlling behaviour of for_each_note()
165 * Default behaviour of for_each_note() is to traverse every single note object
166 * in the given notes tree, unpacking subtree entries along the way.
167 * The following flags can be used to alter the default behaviour:
169 * - DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES causes for_each_note() NOT to unpack and recurse into
170 * subtree entries while traversing the notes tree. This causes notes within
171 * those subtrees NOT to be passed to the callback. Use this flag if you
172 * don't want to traverse _all_ notes, but only want to traverse the parts
173 * of the notes tree that have already been unpacked (this includes at least
174 * all notes that have been added/changed).
176 * - YIELD_SUBTREES causes any subtree entries that are encountered to be
177 * passed to the callback, before recursing into them. Subtree entries are
178 * not note objects, but represent intermediate directories in the notes
179 * tree. When passed to the callback, subtree entries will have a trailing
180 * slash in their path, which the callback may use to differentiate between
181 * note entries and subtree entries. Note that already-unpacked subtree
182 * entries are not part of the notes tree, and will therefore not be yielded.
183 * If this flag is used together with DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES, for_each_note()
184 * will yield the subtree entry, but not recurse into it.
186 #define FOR_EACH_NOTE_DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES 1
187 #define FOR_EACH_NOTE_YIELD_SUBTREES 2
190 * Invoke the specified callback function for each note in the given notes_tree
192 * If the callback returns nonzero, the note walk is aborted, and the return
193 * value from the callback is returned from for_each_note(). Hence, a zero
194 * return value from for_each_note() indicates that all notes were walked
195 * successfully.
197 * IMPORTANT: The callback function is NOT allowed to change the notes tree.
198 * In other words, the following functions can NOT be invoked (on the current
199 * notes tree) from within the callback:
200 * - add_note()
201 * - remove_note()
202 * - copy_note()
203 * - free_notes()

214 * Creates a new tree object encapsulating the current state of the given
215 * notes_tree, and stores its SHA1 into the 'result' argument.
217 * Returns zero on success, non-zero on failure.
