From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx>
In the previous commit, we added the required base for adding symref
support in transactions provided by the 'git-update-ref(1)'. This commit
introduces the 'symref-verify' command which is similar to the existing
'verify' command for regular refs.
The 'symref-verify' command allows users to verify if a provided <ref>
contains the provided <old-ref> without changing the <ref>. If <old-ref>
is not provided, the command will verify that the <ref> doesn't exist.
Since we're checking for symbolic refs, this command will only work with
the 'no-deref' mode. This is because any dereferenced symbolic ref will
point to an object and not a ref and the regular 'verify' command can be
used in such situations.
This commit adds all required helper functions required to also
introduce the other symref commands, namely create, delete, and update.
We also add tests to test the command in both the regular stdin mode and
also with the '-z' flag.
When the user doesn't provide a <old-ref> we need to check that the
provided <ref> doesn't exist. And to do this, we take over the existing
understanding that <old-oid> when set to its zero value, it refers to
the ref not existing. While this seems like a mix of contexts between
using <*-ref> and <*-oid>, this actually works really well, especially
considering the fact that we want to eventually also introduce
symref-update SP <ref> SP <new-ref> [SP (<old-oid> | <old-rev>)] LF
and here, we'd allow the user to update a regular <ref> to a symref and
use <old-oid> to check the <ref>'s oid. This can be extrapolated to the
user using this to create a symref when provided a zero <old-oid>. Which
will work given how we're setting it up.
We also disable the reference-transaction hook for symref-updates which
will be tackled in its own commit.
Add required tests for 'symref-verify' while also adding reflog checks for
the pre-existing 'verify' tests.
