 262 * Reference iterators
 263 *
 264 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
 265 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
 266 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
 267 *
 268 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
 269 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
 270 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
 271 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
 272 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
 273 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
 274 * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
 275 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
 276 * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
 277 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
 278 * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
 279 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
 280 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
 281 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
 282 *
 283 * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
 284 * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
 285 * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
 286 *
 287 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
 288 *
 289 *     int ok;
 290 *     struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
 291 *
 292 *     while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
 293 *             if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {
 294 *                     ok = ref_iterator_abort(iter);

 568 * and return -1. If the ref exists but is neither a symbolic ref nor
 569 * a sha1, it is broken; set REF_ISBROKEN in type, set errno to
 570 * EINVAL, and return -1. If there is another error reading the ref,

 576 * It is OK for refname to point into referent. If so:
 577 *
 578 * - if the function succeeds with REF_ISSYMREF, referent will be
 579 *   overwritten and the memory formerly pointed to by it might be
 580 *   changed or even freed.
 581 *
