 * pointer into either a static buffer or the input ref.
 *
 * If oid is non-NULL, store the referred-to object's name in it.
 *
 * If the reference cannot be resolved to an object, the behavior
 * depends on the RESOLVE_REF_READING flag:
 *
 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is set, return NULL.
 *
 * - If RESOLVE_REF_READING is not set, clear oid and return the name of
 *   the last reference name in the chain, which will either be a non-symbolic
 *   reference or an undefined reference.  If this is a prelude to
 *   "writing" to the ref, the return value is the name of the ref
 *   that will actually be created or changed.
 *
 * If the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag is passed, only resolves one
 * level of symbolic reference.  The value stored in oid for a symbolic
 * reference will always be null_oid in this case, and the return
 * value is the reference that the symref refers to directly.
 *
 * If flags is non-NULL, set the value that it points to the
 * combination of REF_ISPACKED (if the reference was found among the
 * packed references), REF_ISSYMREF (if the initial reference was a
 * symbolic reference), REF_BAD_NAME (if the reference name is ill
 * formed --- see RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME below), and REF_ISBROKEN
 * (if the ref is malformed or has a bad name). See refs.h for more detail
 * on each flag.
 *
 * If ref is not a properly-formatted, normalized reference, return
 * NULL.  If more than MAXDEPTH recursive symbolic lookups are needed,
 * give up and return NULL.
 *
 * RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME allows resolving refs even when their
 * name is invalid according to git-check-ref-format(1).  If the name
 * is bad then the value stored in oid will be null_oid and the two
 * flags REF_ISBROKEN and REF_BAD_NAME will be set.
 *
 * Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, names that escape the refs/
 * directory and do not consist of all caps and underscores cannot be
 * resolved. The function returns NULL for such ref names.
 * Caps and underscores refers to the pseudorefs, such as HEAD,
 * FETCH_HEAD and friends, that all live outside of the refs/ directory.

 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that
 * should succeed or fail together.
 *
 * Calling sequence
 * ----------------
 *
 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
 *   `ref_transaction_begin()`.
 *
 * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
 *   following functions:
 *   - `ref_transaction_update()`
 *   - `ref_transaction_create()`
 *   - `ref_transaction_delete()`
 *   - `ref_transaction_verify()`
 *
 * - Then either:
 *
 *   - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
 *     transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
 *     etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
 *     transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
 *     succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
 *     succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
 *     if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
 *
 *   - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
 *     make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
 *     haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
 *     `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
 *
 *   Or
 *
 *   - Call `ref_transaction_begin()` with REF_TRANSACTION_FLAG_INITIAL if the
 *     ref database is known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
 *     clone). This is likely to be much faster than without the flag.
 *
 * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
 *   `ref_transaction` data structure.
 *
 * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
 * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
 * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
 * `ref_transaction` data structure).
 *
 * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
 *
 *         struct ref_transaction *transaction;
 *         struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
 *         int ret = 0;
 *
 *         transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, 0, &err);
 *         if (!transaction ||
 *             ref_transaction_update(...) ||
 *             ref_transaction_create(...) ||
 *             ...etc... ||
 *             ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
 *                 error("%s", err.buf);
 *                 ret = -1;
 *         }
 *         ref_transaction_free(transaction);
 *         strbuf_release(&err);
 *         return ret;
 *
 * Error handling
 * --------------
 *
 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
 * went wrong to the 'err' argument.  The message mentions what
 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
 *
 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
 *
 * Caveats
 * -------
 *
 * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
 * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
 * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
 * verification failure until the commit is attempted.

 * Reference transaction updates
 *

 *
 *     transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
 *         from ref_transaction_begin().
 *
 *     refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
 *
 *     new_oid -- the object ID that should be set to be the new value
 *         of the reference. Some functions allow this parameter to be
 *         NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed, or
 *         null_oid, meaning that the reference should be deleted. A
 *         copy of this value is made in the transaction.
 *
 *     old_oid -- the object ID that the reference must have before
 *         the update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL,
 *         meaning that the old value of the reference is not checked,
 *         or null_oid, meaning that the reference must not exist
 *         before the update. A copy of this value is made in the
 *         transaction.
 *
 *     new_target -- the target reference that the reference will be
 *         updated to point to. If the reference is a regular reference,
 *         it will be converted to a symbolic reference. Cannot be set
 *         together with `new_oid`. A copy of this value is made in the
 *         transaction.
 *
 *     old_target -- the reference that the reference must be pointing to.
 *         Canont be set together with `old_oid`. A copy of this value is
 *         made in the transaction.
 *
 *     flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
 *         update_ref_lock(). Possible flags: REF_NO_DEREF,
 *         REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG. See those constants for more
 *         information.
 *
 *     msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
 *
 *     err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
 *         might have occurred.
 *
 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
 *
 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
 * to be rolled back.

 * Reference iterators
 *
 * A reference iterator encapsulates the state of an in-progress
 * iteration over references. Create an instance of `struct
 * ref_iterator` via one of the functions in this module.
 *
 * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To
 * advance the iterator, call ref_iterator_advance(). If successful,
 * this sets the iterator's refname, oid, and flags fields to describe
 * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
 * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
 * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
 * ref_iterator_free(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
 * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
 * associated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
 * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
 * ref_iterator_free(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and
 * any associated resources. If there was an internal error advancing
 * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
 * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
 *
 * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
 *
 *     int ok;
 *     struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
 *
 *     while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
 *             if (want_to_stop_iteration()) {
 *                     ok = ITER_DONE;
 *                     break;
 *             }
 *
 *             // Access information about the current reference:
 *             if (!(iter->flags & REF_ISSYMREF))
 *                     printf("%s is %s\n", iter->refname, oid_to_hex(iter->oid));
 *     }
 *
 *     if (ok != ITER_DONE)
 *             handle_error();
 *     ref_iterator_free(iter);
