[PATCH v10 4/8] refs: make errno output explicit for read_raw_ref_fn

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

 



From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@xxxxxxxxxx>

This makes it explicit how alternative ref backends should report errors in
read_raw_ref_fn.

read_raw_ref_fn needs to supply a credible errno for a number of cases. These
are primarily:

1) The files backend calls read_raw_ref from lock_raw_ref, and uses the
resulting error codes to create/remove directories as needed.

2) ENOENT should be translated in a zero OID, optionally with REF_ISBROKEN set,
returning the last successfully resolved symref. This is necessary so
read_raw_ref("HEAD") on an empty repo returns refs/heads/main (or the default branch
du-jour), and we know on which branch to create the first commit.

Make this information flow explicit by adding a failure_errno to the signature
of read_raw_ref. All errnos from the files backend are still propagated
unchanged, even though inspection suggests only ENOTDIR, EISDIR and ENOENT are
relevant.
