  11 * Resolve a reference, recursively following symbolic refererences.
  12 *
  13 * Store the referred-to object's name in sha1 and return the name of
  14 * the non-symbolic reference that ultimately pointed at it.  The
  15 * return value, if not NULL, is a pointer into either a static buffer
  16 * or the input ref.
  17 *
  18 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
  19 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
  20 *
  21 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
  22 *
  23 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear sha1 and return the name of
  24 *   the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
  25 *   reference or an undefined reference.  If this is a prelude to
  26 *   "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
  27 *   that will actually be created or changed.
  28 *
  29 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
  30 * level of symbolic reference.  The value stored in sha1 for a symbolic
  31 * reference will always be null_sha1 in this case, and the return
  32 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
  33 *
  34 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
  35 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
  36 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
  37 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
  38 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
  39 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
  40 * on each flag.
  41 *
  42 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
  43 * NULL.  If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
  44 * give up and return NULL.
  45 *
  46 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
  47 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1).  If the name
  48 * is bad then the value stored in sha1 will be null_sha1 and the two
  49 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
  50 *
  51 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
  52 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
  53 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
  54 * Caps and underscores refers to the special refs, such as HEAD,
  55 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

 146 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
 147 * should succeed or fail together.
 148 *
 149 * Calling sequence
 150 * ----------------
 151 *
 152 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
 153 *   `ref_transaction_begin()`.
 154 *
 155 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
 156 *   following functions:
 157 *   - `ref_transaction_update()`
 158 *   - `ref_transaction_create()`
 159 *   - `ref_transaction_delete()`
 160 *   - `ref_transaction_verify()`
 161 *
 162 * - Then either:
 163 *
 164 *   - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
 165 *     transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
 166 *     etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
 167 *     transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
 168 *     succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
 169 *     succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
 170 *     if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
 171 *
 172 *   - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
 173 *     make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
 174 *     haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
 175 *     `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
 176 *
 177 *   Or
 178 *
 179 *   - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
 180 *     known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
 181 *     clone). This is likely to be much faster than
 182 *     `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
 183 *     *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
 184 *
 185 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
 186 *   `ref_transaction` data structure.
 187 *
 188 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
 189 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
 190 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
 191 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
 192 *
 193 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
 194 *
 195 *         struct ref_transaction *transaction;
 196 *         struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
 197 *         int ret = 0;
 198 *
 199 *         transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
 200 *         if (!transaction ||
 201 *             ref_transaction_update(...) ||
 202 *             ref_transaction_create(...) ||
 203 *             ...etc... ||
 204 *             ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
 205 *                 error("%s", err.buf);
 206 *                 ret = -1;
 207 *         }
 208 *         ref_transaction_free(transaction);
 209 *         strbuf_release(&err);
 210 *         return ret;
 211 *
 212 * Error handling
 213 * --------------
 214 *
 215 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
 216 * went wrong to the 'err' argument.  The message mentions what
 217 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
 218 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
 219 *
 220 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
 221 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
 222 *
 223 * Caveats
 224 * -------
 225 *
 226 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
 227 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
 228 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
 229 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

 464 * Reference transaction updates
 465 *
 466 * The following four functions add a reference check or update to a
 467 * ref_transaction.  They have some common similar parameters:
 468 *
 469 *     transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
 470 *         from ref_transaction_begin().
 471 *
 472 *     refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
 473 *
 474 *     new_sha1 -- the SHA-1 that should be set to be the new value of
 475 *         the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
 476 *         NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
 477 *         null_sha1, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
 478 *         copy of this value is made in the transaction.
 479 *
 480 *     old_sha1 -- the SHA-1 value that the reference must have before
 481 *         the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
 482 *         meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
 483 *         or null_sha1, meaning that the reference must not exist
 484 *         before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
 485 *         transaction.
 486 *
 487 *     flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
 488 *         update_ref_lock(). Can be REF_NODEREF, which means that
 489 *         symbolic references should not be followed.
 490 *
 491 *     msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
 492 *
 493 *     err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
 494 *         might have occurred.
 495 *
 496 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
 497 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
 498 *
 499 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
 500 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
 501 * to be rolled back.
