  13 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
  14 *
  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.
  18 *
  19 * If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
  20 *
  21 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
  22 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
  23 *
  24 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
  25 *
  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.
  31 *
  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.
  36 *
  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
  43 * on each flag.
  44 *
  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.
  48 *
  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.
  53 *
  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.
 160 *
 161 * Calling sequence
 162 * ----------------
 163 *
 164 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
 165 *   `ref_transaction_begin()`.
 166 *
 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()`
 173 *
 174 * - Then either:
 175 *
 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.
 183 *
 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.
 188 *
 189 *   Or
 190 *
 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()`.
 196 *
 197 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
 198 *   `ref_transaction` data structure.
 199 *
 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).
 204 *
 205 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
 206 *
 207 *         struct ref_transaction *transaction;
 208 *         struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
 209 *         int ret = 0;
 210 *
 211 *         transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
 212 *         if (!transaction ||
 213 *             ref_transaction_update(...) ||
 214 *             ref_transaction_create(...) ||
 215 *             ...etc... ||
 216 *             ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
 217 *                 error("%s", err.buf);
 218 *                 ret = -1;
 219 *         }
 220 *         ref_transaction_free(transaction);
 221 *         strbuf_release(&err);
 222 *         return ret;
 223 *
 224 * Error handling
 225 * --------------
 226 *
 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.
 231 *
 232 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
 233 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
 234 *
 235 * Caveats
 236 * -------
 237 *
 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.

 514 *     transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
 515 *         from ref_transaction_begin().
 516 *
 517 *     refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
 518 *
 519 *     new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
 520 *         of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
 521 *         NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
 522 *         null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
 523 *         copy of this value is made in the transaction.
 524 *
 525 *     old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
 526 *         the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
 527 *         meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
 528 *         or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
 529 *         before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
 530 *         transaction.
 531 *
 532 *     flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
 533 *         update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
 534 *         REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
 535 *         information.
 536 *
 537 *     msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
 538 *
 539 *     err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
 540 *         might have occurred.
 541 *
 542 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
 543 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
 544 *
 545 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
 546 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
 547 * to be rolled back.
