32 Refdb

Under normal usage, this is called for you when the repository is opened / created, but you can use this to explicitly construct a filesystem refdb backend for a repository.

procedure
( git_refdb_compressrefdb)→integer?
refdb:refdb?

Suggests that the given refdb compress or optimize its references. This mechanism is implementation specific. For on-disk reference databases, for example, this may pack all loose references.

procedure
( git_refdb_freerefdb)→void?
refdb:refdb?

Close an open reference database.

procedure
( git_refdb_init_backendbackendversion)→integer?
backend:refdb_backend?
version:integer?

Initializes a git_refdb_backend with default values. Equivalent to creating an instance with GIT_REFDB_BACKEND_INIT.

procedure
( git_refdb_newrepo)→refdb?
repo:repository?

Create a new reference database with no backends.

Before the Ref DB can be used for read/writing, a custom database backend must be manually set using git_refdb_set_backend()

procedure
( git_refdb_openrepo)→refdb?
repo:repository?

Create a new reference database and automatically add the default backends:

git_refdb_dir: read and write loose and packed refs from disk, assuming the repository dir as the folder

procedure
( git_refdb_set_backendrefdbbackend)→integer?
refdb:refdb?
backend:refdb_backend?

Sets the custom backend to an existing reference DB

The git_refdb will take ownership of the git_refdb_backend so you should NOT free it after calling this function.
