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