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 shall both be non-NULL and different from each other.
16 * Either of them (but not both) may be == null_sha1, which indicates an
17 * empty/non-existent note. If the resulting SHA1 (cur_sha1) is == null_sha1,
18 * the note will be removed from the notes tree.
20 * The default combine_notes function (you get this when passing NULL) is
21 * combine_notes_concatenate(), which appends the contents of the new note to
22 * the contents of the existing note.
24 typedef int (*combine_notes_fn)(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);
26 /* Common notes combinators */
27 int combine_notes_concatenate(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);
28 int combine_notes_overwrite(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);
29 int combine_notes_ignore(unsigned char *cur_sha1, const unsigned char *new_sha1);
32 * Notes tree object
34 * Encapsulates the internal notes tree structure associated with a notes ref.
35 * Whenever a struct notes_tree pointer is required below, you may pass NULL in
36 * order to use the default/internal notes tree. E.g. you only need to pass a
37 * non-NULL value if you need to refer to several different notes trees
38 * simultaneously.
40 extern struct notes_tree {
41 struct int_node *root;

43 char *ref;
44 combine_notes_fn combine_notes;
45 int initialized;
46 int dirty;
47 } default_notes_tree;
50 * Return the default notes ref.
52 * The default notes ref is the notes ref that is used when notes_ref == NULL
53 * is passed to init_notes().
55 * This the first of the following to be defined:
56 * 1. The '--ref' option to 'git notes', if given
57 * 2. The $GIT_NOTES_REF environment variable, if set
58 * 3. The value of the core.notesRef config variable, if set
59 * 4. GIT_NOTES_DEFAULT_REF (i.e. "refs/notes/commits")
61 const char *default_notes_ref(void);
64 * Flags controlling behaviour of notes tree initialization
66 * Default behaviour is to initialize the notes tree from the tree object
67 * specified by the given (or default) notes ref.
69 #define NOTES_INIT_EMPTY 1
72 * Initialize the given notes_tree with the notes tree structure at the given
73 * ref. If given ref is NULL, the value of the $GIT_NOTES_REF environment
74 * variable is used, and if that is missing, the default notes ref is used
75 * ("refs/notes/commits").
77 * If you need to re-intialize a notes_tree structure (e.g. when switching from
78 * one notes ref to another), you must first de-initialize the notes_tree
79 * structure by calling free_notes(struct notes_tree *).
81 * If you pass t == NULL, the default internal notes_tree will be initialized.
83 * The combine_notes function that is passed becomes the default combine_notes
84 * function for the given notes_tree. If NULL is passed, the default
85 * combine_notes function is combine_notes_concatenate().
87 * Precondition: The notes_tree structure is zeroed (this can be achieved with
88 * memset(t, 0, sizeof(struct notes_tree)))
90 void init_notes(struct notes_tree *t, const char *notes_ref,
91 combine_notes_fn combine_notes, int flags);
94 * Add the given note object to the given notes_tree structure
96 * If there already exists a note for the given object_sha1, the given
97 * combine_notes function is invoked to break the tie. If not given (i.e.
98 * combine_notes == NULL), the default combine_notes function for the given
99 * notes_tree is used.
101 * Passing note_sha1 == null_sha1 indicates the addition of an
102 * empty/non-existent note. This is a (potentially expensive) no-op unless
103 * there already exists a note for the given object_sha1, AND combining that
104 * note with the empty note (using the given combine_notes function) results
105 * in a new/changed note.
107 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by add_note() to the given notes_tree structure
108 * are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree() returns
109 * zero.
111 void add_note(struct notes_tree *t, const unsigned char *object_sha1,
112 const unsigned char *note_sha1, combine_notes_fn combine_notes);
115 * Remove the given note object from the given notes_tree structure
117 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by remove_note() to the given notes_tree
118 * structure are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree()
119 * returns zero.

126 * Return NULL if the given object has no notes.
128 const unsigned char *get_note(struct notes_tree *t,
129 const unsigned char *object_sha1);
132 * Copy a note from one object to another in the given notes_tree.
134 * Fails if the to_obj already has a note unless 'force' is true.
136 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by copy_note() to the given notes_tree structure
137 * are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree() returns
138 * zero.

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

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

202 * this function has returned zero. Please also remember to create a
203 * corresponding commit object, and update the appropriate notes ref.
