From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx>
Add 'symref-update' command to the '--stdin' mode of 'git-update-ref' to
allow updates of symbolic refs. The 'symref-update' command takes in a
<new-target>, which the <ref> will be updated to. If the <ref> doesn't
exist it will be created.
It also optionally takes either an `ref <old-target>` or `oid
<old-oid>`. If the <old-target> is provided, it checks to see if the
<ref> targets the <old-target> before the update. If <old-oid> is provided
it checks <ref> to ensure that it is a regular ref and <old-oid> is the
OID before the update. This by extension also means that this when a
zero <old-oid> is provided, it ensures that the ref didn't exist before.
The command allows users to perform symbolic ref updates within a
transaction. This provides atomicity and allows users to perform a set
of operations together.
This command will also support deref mode, to ensure that we can update
dereferenced regular refs to symrefs.
