13 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
15 * Return the name of the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed
16 * at the resolved object name. The return value, if not NULL, is a
17 * pointer into either a static buffer or the input ref.
19 * If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
21 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
22 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
24 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
26 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear oid and return the name of
27 * the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
28 * reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
29 * "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
30 * that will actually be created or changed.
32 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
33 * level of symbolic reference. The value stored in oid for a symbolic
34 * reference will always be null_oid in this case, and the return
35 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
37 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
38 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
39 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
40 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
41 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
42 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
45 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
46 * NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
47 * give up and return NULL.
49 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
50 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
51 * is bad then the value stored in oid will be null_oid and the two
52 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
54 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
55 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
56 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
57 * Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
58 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

158 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
159 * should succeed or fail together.
164 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
165 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
167 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
168 * following functions:
169 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
170 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
171 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
172 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
176 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
177 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
178 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
179 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
180 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
181 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
182 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
184 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
185 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
186 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
187 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
191 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
192 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
193 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
194 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
195 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
197 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
198 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
200 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
201 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
202 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
203 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
205 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
207 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
208 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
211 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
212 * if (!transaction ||
213 * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
214 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
216 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
217 * error("%s", err.buf);
220 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
221 * strbuf_release(&err);
227 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
228 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
229 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
230 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
232 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
233 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
238 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
239 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
240 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
241 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

521 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
523 * new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
524 * of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
525 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
526 * null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
527 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
529 * old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
530 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
531 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
532 * or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
533 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
536 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
537 * update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
538 * REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
541 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
543 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
544 * might have occurred.
546 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
547 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
549 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
550 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
555 * The following flags can be passed to ref_transaction_update() etc.
556 * Internally, they are stored in `ref_update::flags`, along with some
561 * Act on the ref directly; i.e., without dereferencing symbolic refs.
