List, please review This series is called backend-struct-db and is also available at https://github.com/rsahlberg/git/tree/backend-struct-db This series is built on and follows after the series ref-transactions-send-pack This series does not change any logic or behaviour but mainly just shuffles code around and adds method pointers for the backend functions. The first patch adds a new public function for checking if a refname is available or not. This function is needed not because we want to have different is_refname_available semantics for different backends, we don't, but because its implementation is quite dependant on the backend type. 15 of the patches, the refs-common.c patches, focuses on moving all backend agnostic refs functions to a common file. This file will contain all backend agnostic refs functions. The last 6 patches adds a backend structure with the methods we need to describe a pluggable backend. Currently we only have one built in backend, the current files based backend. These patches do not change any of the behavior other than that we now call the methods through backend specific wrapper functions rather than calling them directly. At this stage we now have a defined set of methods needed for a refs backend and we can start building and adding new types of ref backends to git. Version 2: - Do not use C99 style initializers as suggested by David Turner. - Make head_ref_namespaced a common function instead of a backend function Ronnie Sahlberg (23): refs.c: create a public function for is_refname_available refs-common.c: create a file to host all common refs code refs-common.c: move update_ref to refs-common.c refs-common.c: move delete_ref to the common code refs-common.c: move rename_ref to the common code refs-common.c: move read_ref_at to the refs common file refs-common.c: move the hidden refs functions to the common code refs-common.c: move dwim and friend functions to refs common refs-common.c: move warn_if_dangling_symref* to refs-common refs-common.c: move read_ref, read_ref_full and ref_exists to common refs-common.c: move resolve_refdup to common refs-common.c: move check_refname_component to the common code refs-common.c: move is_branch to the common code refs-common.c: move names_conflict to the common code refs-common.c: move prettify_refname to the common code refs-common.c: move ref iterators to the common code refs-common.c: move head_ref_namespaced to the common file refs.c: add a backend method structure with transaction functions refs.c: add reflog backend methods refs.c: add methods for misc ref operations refs.c: add methods for head_ref* refs.c: add methods for the ref iterators refs-be-files.c: rename refs.c to refs-be-files.c Makefile | 3 +- refs-be-files.c | 3323 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ refs-common.c | 966 +++++++++++++ refs.c | 4082 ------------------------------------------------------- refs.h | 111 ++ 5 files changed, 4402 insertions(+), 4083 deletions(-) create mode 100644 refs-be-files.c create mode 100644 refs-common.c delete mode 100644 refs.c -- 2.0.1.556.g3edca4c -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
