 102 * A ref_entry represents either a reference or a "subdirectory" of
 103 * references.
 104 *
 105 * Each directory in the reference namespace is represented by a
 106 * ref_entry with (flags & REF_DIR) set and containing a subdir member
 107 * that holds the entries in that directory that have been read so
 108 * far.  If (flags & REF_INCOMPLETE) is set, then the directory and
 109 * its subdirectories haven't been read yet.  REF_INCOMPLETE is only
 110 * used for loose reference directories.
 111 *
 112 * References are represented by a ref_entry with (flags & REF_DIR)
 113 * unset and a value member that describes the reference's value.  The
 114 * flag member is at the ref_entry level, but it is also needed to
 115 * interpret the contents of the value field (in other words, a
 116 * ref_value object is not very much use without the enclosing
 117 * ref_entry).
 118 *
 119 * Reference names cannot end with slash and directories' names are
 120 * always stored with a trailing slash (except for the top-level
 121 * directory, which is always denoted by "").  This has two nice
 122 * consequences: (1) when the entries in each subdir are sorted
 123 * lexicographically by name (as they usually are), the references in
 124 * a whole tree can be generated in lexicographic order by traversing
 125 * the tree in left-to-right, depth-first order; (2) the names of
 126 * references and subdirectories cannot conflict, and therefore the
 127 * presence of an empty subdirectory does not block the creation of a
 128 * similarly-named reference.  (The fact that reference names with the
 129 * same leading components can conflict *with each other* is a
 130 * separate issue that is regulated by refs_verify_refname_available().)
 131 *
 132 * Please note that the name field contains the fully-qualified
 133 * reference (or subdirectory) name.  Space could be saved by only
 134 * storing the relative names.  But that would require the full names
 135 * to be generated on the fly when iterating in do_for_each_ref(), and
 136 * would break callback functions, who have always been able to assume
 137 * that the name strings that they are passed will not be freed during
 138 * the iteration.
