Patrick Steinhardt cf7dd05b 2020-06-30T13:26:05 refdb: return resolved symbolic refs pointing to nonexistent refs In some cases, resolving references requires us to also know about the final symbolic reference that's pointing to a nonexistent branch, e.g. in an empty repository where the main branch is yet unborn but HEAD already points to it. Right now, the resolving logic is thus split up into two, where one is the new refdb implementation and the second one is an ad-hoc implementation inside "refs.c". Let's extend `git_refdb_resolve` to also return such final dangling references pointing to nonexistent branches so we can deduplicate the resolving logic.
Patrick Steinhardt c54f40e4 2020-06-30T09:28:12 refs: move resolving of references into the refdb Resolving of symbolic references is currently implemented inside the "refs" layer. As a result, it's hard to call this function from low-level parts that only have a refdb available, but no repository, as the "refs" layer always operates on the repository-level. So let's move the function into the generic "refdb" implementation to lift this restriction.
Patrick Steinhardt 1f39593b 2020-06-30T08:53:59 refdb: extract function to check whether to append HEAD to the reflog The logic to determine whether a reflog entry should be for the HEAD reference is non-trivial. Currently, the only user of this is the filesystem-based refdb, but with the advent of the reftable refdb we're going to add a second user that's interested in having the same behaviour. Let's pull out a new function that checks whether a given reference should cause a entry to be written to the HEAD reflog as a preparatory step.

Patrick Steinhardt 0c7f49dd 2017-06-30T13:39:01 Make sure to always include "common.h" first Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.
Carlos Martín Nieto ab8d9242 2014-06-28T06:39:38 Introduce reference transactions A transaction allows you to lock multiple references and set up changes for them before applying the changes all at once (or as close as the backend supports). This can be used for replication purposes, or for making sure some operations run when the reference is locked and thus cannot be changed.
Carlos Martín Nieto 7ee8c7e6 2014-02-05T11:07:34 refs: placeholder conditional delete We don't actually pass the old value yet.
Carlos Martín Nieto 91123661 2014-02-04T22:04:00 refdb: add conditional symbolic updates Add a parameter to the backend to allow checking for the old symbolic target.
Carlos Martín Nieto 9b148098 2013-12-18T19:58:16 refs: conditional ref updates Allow updating references if the old value matches the given one.
Carlos Martín Nieto 8d5ec910 2013-11-23T14:13:01 refs: expose a way to ensure a ref has a log Sometimes (e.g. stash) we want to make sure that a log will be written, even if it's not in one of the standard locations. Let's make that easier.
Carlos Martín Nieto f2105129 2013-11-23T14:39:53 refs: expose has_log() on the backend The frontend used to look at the file directly, but that's obviously not the right thing to do. Expose it on the backend and use that function instead.
Carlos Martín Nieto a57dd3b7 2013-11-13T18:15:20 reflog: integrate into the ref writing Whenever a reference is created or updated, we need to write to the reflog regardless of whether the user gave us a message, so we shouldn't leave that to the ref frontend, but integrate it into the backend. This also eliminates the race between ref update and writing to the reflog, as we protect the reflog with the ref lock. As an additional benefit, this reflog append on the backend happens by appending to the file instead of parsing and rewriting it.
Carlos Martín Nieto 110df893 2013-11-13T13:36:37 refdb: add a `message` parameter for appending to the log This is as yet unused.
Carlos Martín Nieto b976f3c2 2013-08-19T13:01:49 reflog: move the reflog implementation into refdb_fs References and their logs are logically coupled, let's make it so in the code by moving the fs-based reflog implementation to live next to the fs-based refs one. As part of the change, make the function take names rather than references, as only the names are relevant when looking up and handling reflogs.

Vicent Marti 4e6e2ff2 2013-05-30T03:47:10 ...Aaaand this works
Vicent Marti ec24e542 2013-05-29T22:47:37 What are the chances, really
Vicent Marti 56960b83 2013-05-28T20:47:55 Liike this
Carlos Martín Nieto c58cac12 2013-05-04T18:06:14 Introduce a glob-filtering iterator If the backend doesn't provide support for it, the matching is done in refdb on top of a normal iterator.
Carlos Martín Nieto 2b562c3a 2013-05-04T16:32:58 refs: remove the OID/SYMBOLIC filtering Nobody should ever be using anything other than ALL at this level, so remove the option altogether. As part of this, git_reference_foreach_glob is now implemented in the frontend using an iterator. Backends will later regain the ability of doing the glob filtering in the backend.
Carlos Martín Nieto 4def7035 2013-03-02T19:31:03 refs: introduce an iterator This allows us to get a list of reference names in a loop instead of callbacks.
Russell Belfer 21ca0451 2013-04-21T12:52:17 Move git_reference__alloc to include/git2/sys Create a new include/git2/sys/refs.h and move the reference alloc functions there. Also fix some documentation issues and some minor code cleanups.
