[PATCH v3 3/7] invalidate_ref_cache(): expose this function in refs API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Make invalidate_ref_cache() an official part of the refs API.  It is
currently a fact of life that code outside of refs.c mucks about with
references.  This change gives such code a way of informing the refs
module that it should no longer trust its cache.
