[PATCH 1/3] refs: make sha1 output parameter of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() optional

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

 



Allow callers of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() to pass NULL if they don't
need the resolved hash value.  We already allow the same for the flags
parameter.  This new leniency is inherited by the various wrappers like
resolve_ref_unsafe().
