13 * Initialize internal notes tree structure with the notes tree at the given
14 * ref. If given ref is NULL, the value of the $GIT_NOTES_REF environment
15 * variable is used, and if that is missing, the default notes ref is used
16 * ("refs/notes/commits").
18 * If you need to re-intialize the internal notes tree structure (e.g. loading
19 * from a different notes ref), please first de-initialize the current notes
20 * tree by calling free_notes().

25 * Add the given note object to the internal notes tree structure
27 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by add_note() to the internal notes tree structure
28 * are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree() returns
29 * zero.

32 const unsigned char *note_sha1);
35 * Remove the given note object from the internal notes tree structure
37 * IMPORTANT: The changes made by remove_note() to the internal notes tree
38 * structure are not persistent until a subsequent call to write_notes_tree()
39 * returns zero.

44 * Get the note object SHA1 containing the note data for the given object
46 * Return NULL if the given object has no notes.
48 const unsigned char *get_note(const unsigned char *object_sha1);
51 * Flags controlling behaviour of for_each_note()
53 * Default behaviour of for_each_note() is to traverse every single note object
54 * in the notes tree, unpacking subtree entries along the way.
55 * The following flags can be used to alter the default behaviour:
57 * - DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES causes for_each_note() NOT to unpack and recurse into
58 * subtree entries while traversing the notes tree. This causes notes within
59 * those subtrees NOT to be passed to the callback. Use this flag if you
60 * don't want to traverse _all_ notes, but only want to traverse the parts
61 * of the notes tree that have already been unpacked (this includes at least
62 * all notes that have been added/changed).
64 * - YIELD_SUBTREES causes any subtree entries that are encountered to be
65 * passed to the callback, before recursing into them. Subtree entries are
66 * not note objects, but represent intermediate directories in the notes
67 * tree. When passed to the callback, subtree entries will have a trailing
68 * slash in their path, which the callback may use to differentiate between
69 * note entries and subtree entries. Note that already-unpacked subtree
70 * entries are not part of the notes tree, and will therefore not be yielded.
71 * If this flag is used together with DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES, for_each_note()
72 * will yield the subtree entry, but not recurse into it.
74 #define FOR_EACH_NOTE_DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES 1
75 #define FOR_EACH_NOTE_YIELD_SUBTREES 2
78 * Invoke the specified callback function for each note
80 * If the callback returns nonzero, the note walk is aborted, and the return
81 * value from the callback is returned from for_each_note(). Hence, a zero
82 * return value from for_each_note() indicates that all notes were walked
83 * successfully.
85 * IMPORTANT: The callback function is NOT allowed to change the notes tree.
86 * In other words, the following functions can NOT be invoked (on the current
87 * notes tree) from within the callback:
88 * - add_note()
89 * - remove_note()
90 * - free_notes()

98 * Write the internal notes tree structure to the object database
100 * Creates a new tree object encapsulating the current state of the
101 * internal notes tree, and stores its SHA1 into the 'result' argument.
103 * Returns zero on success, non-zero on failure.
105 * IMPORTANT: Changes made to the internal notes tree structure are not
106 * persistent until this function has returned zero. Please also remember
107 * to create a corresponding commit object, and update the appropriate
108 * notes ref.

130 * 'flags' is a bitwise combination of the above formatting flags.
