 247 * Reference iterators
 248 *
 249 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
 250 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
 251 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
 252 *
 253 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
 254 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
 255 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
 256 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
 257 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
 258 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
 259 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
 260 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
 261 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
 262 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
 263 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
 264 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
 265 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
 266 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
 267 *
 268 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
 269 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
 270 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
 271 *
 272 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
 273 *
 274 *     int ok;
 275 *     struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
 276 *
 277 *     while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {

 279 *                     ok = ref_iterator_abort(iter);
