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

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

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

481 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
483 * new_sha1 -- the SHA-1 that should be set to be the new value of
484 * the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
485 * NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
486 * null_sha1, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
487 * copy of this value is made in the transaction.
489 * old_sha1 -- the SHA-1 value that the reference must have before
490 * the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
491 * meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
492 * or null_sha1, meaning that the reference must not exist
493 * before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
496 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
497 * update_ref_lock(). Can be REF_NODEREF, which means that
498 * symbolic references should not be followed.
500 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
502 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
503 * might have occurred.
505 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
506 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
508 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
509 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
514 * Add a reference update to transaction. new_oid is the value that
515 * the reference should have after the update, or null_oid if it
516 * should be deleted. If new_oid is NULL, then the reference is not

518 * before the update, or null_oid if it must not have existed
519 * beforehand. The old value is checked after the lock is taken to
520 * prevent races. If the old value doesn't agree with old_oid, the
