/*
 * A ref_entry represents either a reference or a "subdirectory" of
 * references.  Each directory in the reference namespace is
 * represented by a ref_entry with (flags & REF_DIR) set and
 * containing a subdir member that holds the entries in that
 * directory.  References are represented by a ref_entry with (flags &
 * REF_DIR) unset and a value member that describes the reference's
 * value.  The flag member is at the ref_entry level, but it is also
 * needed to interpret the contents of the value field (in other
 * words, a ref_value object is not very much use without the
 * enclosing ref_entry).
 *
 * Reference names cannot end with slash and directories' names are
 * always stored with a trailing slash (except for the top-level
 * directory, which is always denoted by "").  This has two nice
 * consequences: (1) when the entries in each subdir are sorted
 * lexicographically by name (as they usually are), the references in
 * a whole tree can be generated in lexicographic order by traversing
 * the tree in left-to-right, depth-first order; (2) the names of
 * references and subdirectories cannot conflict, and therefore the
 * presence of an empty subdirectory does not block the creation of a
 * similarly-named reference.  (The fact that reference names with the
 * same leading components can conflict *with each other* is a
 * separate issue that is regulated by is_refname_available().)
 *
 * Please note that the name field contains the fully-qualified
 * reference (or subdirectory) name.  Space could be saved by only
 * storing the relative names.  But that would require the full names
 * to be generated on the fly when iterating in do_for_each_ref(), and
 * would break callback functions, who have always been able to assume
 * that the name strings that they are passed will not be freed during
 * the iteration.
