From ca8db1424d1808a1f78bc9905efd267f7c154d8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2005 09:59:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Allow reading "symbolic refs" that point to other refs This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file that starts with "ref: " and points to another ref file, and thus introduces the notion of ref aliases. This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink, but one of these symbolic refs instead. [jc: Linus originally required the prefix to be "ref: " five bytes and nothing else, but I changed it to allow and strip any number of leading whitespaces to match what update-ref.c does.] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- refs.c | 73 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) (limited to 'refs.c') diff --git a/refs.c b/refs.c index 161018097d..d4f3612487 100644 --- a/refs.c +++ b/refs.c @@ -2,17 +2,43 @@ #include "cache.h" #include +#include -static int read_ref(const char *refname, unsigned char *sha1) +/* We allow "recursive" symbolic refs.
