 282 * Reference iterators
 283 *
 284 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
 285 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
 286 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
 287 *
 288 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
 289 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
 290 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
 291 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
 292 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
 293 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
 294 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
 295 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
 296 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
 297 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
 298 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
 299 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
 300 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
 301 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
 302 *
 303 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
 304 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
 305 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
 306 *
 307 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
 308 *
 309 *     int ok;
 310 *     struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
 311 *
 312 *     while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
 313 *             if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {
 314 *                     ok = ref_iterator_abort(iter);
