I am instead getting an impression that, we are declaring that the recommended way to store per-worktree refs is with filesystem backend. Not complaining against either such a design decision (if that is what is made here) or the above description in the log message--just want to understand the intention better. I also wonder if it is cleaner to have a single interface that lets anybody ask a pointer to the backend struct by name. With such an interface, a new backend that wants to delegate per-worktree refs to files backend could static int DB_for_each_ref(...) { struct ref_be *files = locate_ref_backend("files"); files->for_each_ref(... | WORKTREE_ONLY, ...); ... do its own enumeration of non-per-worktree refs ... } and such a delegation does not need to be limited to per-worktree iteration. Or is that a road to expose too much implementation details of a backend to other backends? > Signed-off-by: David Turner <dturner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > refs/files-backend.c | 15 ++++++++++++--- > refs/refs-internal.h | 10 ++++++++++ > 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/refs/files-backend.c b/refs/files-backend.c > index d4bd6cf..bde4892 100644 > --- a/refs/files-backend.c > +++ b/refs/files-backend.c > @@ -518,9 +518,6 @@ static void sort_ref_dir(struct ref_dir *dir) > dir->sorted = dir->nr = i; > } > > -/* Include broken references in a do_for_each_ref*() iteration: */ > -#define DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN 0x01 > - > /* > * Return true iff the reference described by entry can be resolved to > * an object in the database.
