[PATCH v4 0/5] for-each-ref: add '--include-root-refs' option

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

 



This is the forth version of my patch series to print root refs
in git-for-each-ref(1).

With the introduction of the reftable backend, it becomes ever
so important to provide the necessary tooling for printing all refs
associated with a worktree.

While regular refs stored within the "refs/" namespace are currently
supported by multiple commands like git-for-each-ref(1),
git-show-ref(1). Neither support printing root refs within the worktree.

This patch series is a follow up to the RFC/discussion we had earlier on
the list [1].

The first 4 commits add the required functionality to ensure we can print
all refs (regular, pseudo, HEAD). The 5th commit modifies the
git-for-each-ref(1) command to add the "--include-root-refs" command which
will include HEAD and pseudorefs with regular "refs/" refs.

Changes from v3:
1. Move from using 'git for-each-ref ""' to print root refs to adding
the '--include-root-refs' option for git-for-each-ref(1). This provides better
UX for users.
2. Modify `is_pseudoref()` to use `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe`.
3. Includes reftable-backend changes and is now rebased on top of next (ed35d3359).
