11 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
13 * Store the referred-to object's name in sha1 and return the name of
14 * the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed at it. The
15 * return value, if not NULL, is a pointer into either a static buffer
18 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
19 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
21 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
23 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear sha1 and return the name of
24 * the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
25 * reference or an undefined reference. If this is a prelude to
26 * "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
27 * that will actually be created or changed.
29 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
30 * level of symbolic reference. The value stored in sha1 for a symbolic
31 * reference will always be null_sha1 in this case, and the return
32 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
34 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
35 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
36 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
37 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
38 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
39 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
42 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
43 * NULL. If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
44 * give up and return NULL.
46 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
47 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1). If the name
48 * is bad then the value stored in sha1 will be null_sha1 and the two
49 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
51 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
52 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
53 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
54 * Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
55 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

146 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
147 * should succeed or fail together.
152 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
153 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
155 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
156 * following functions:
157 * - `ref_transaction_update()`
158 * - `ref_transaction_create()`
159 * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
160 * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
164 * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
165 * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
166 * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
167 * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
168 * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
169 * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
170 * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
172 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
173 * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
174 * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
175 * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
179 * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
180 * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
181 * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
182 * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
183 * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
185 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
186 * `ref_transaction` data structure.
188 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
189 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
190 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
191 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
193 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
195 * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
196 * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
199 * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
200 * if (!transaction ||

202 * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
204 * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
205 * error("%s", err.buf);
208 * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
209 * strbuf_release(&err);
215 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
216 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
217 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
218 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
220 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.

227 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is

473 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
475 * new_sha1 -- the SHA-1 that should be set to be the new value of
476 * the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
477 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
478 * null_sha1, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
479 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
481 * old_sha1 -- the SHA-1 value that the reference must have before
482 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
483 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
484 * or null_sha1, meaning that the reference must not exist
485 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
488 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
489 * update_ref_lock(). Can be REF_NODEREF, which means that
490 * symbolic references should not be followed.
492 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
494 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
495 * might have occurred.
497 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
498 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
500 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
501 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
506 * Add a reference update to transaction. new_sha1 is the value that
507 * the reference should have after the update, or null_sha1 if it
508 * should be deleted. If new_sha1 is NULL, then the reference is not
509 * changed at all. old_sha1 is the value that the reference must have
510 * before the update, or null_sha1 if it must not have existed
511 * beforehand. The old value is checked after the lock is taken to
512 * prevent races. If the old value doesn't agree with old_sha1, the
513 * whole transaction fails. If old_sha1 is NULL, then the previous
