      org.eclipse.jgit.lib.Ref.Storage

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Ref.Storage>

Enclosing interface:

Ref

public static enum Ref.Storage
extends Enum<Ref.Storage>

Location where a Ref is stored.

Enum Constant Summary

LOOSE
The ref is stored in a file by itself.

LOOSE_PACKED
The ref is both LOOSE and PACKED.

NETWORK
The ref came from a network advertisement and storage is unknown.

NEW
The ref does not exist yet, updating it may create it.

PACKED
The ref is stored in the packed-refs file, with others.

Method Summary

Enum Constant Detail

NEW

public static final Ref.Storage NEW

The ref does not exist yet, updating it may create it.

Creation is likely to choose LOOSE storage.

LOOSE

public static final Ref.Storage LOOSE

The ref is stored in a file by itself.

Updating this ref affects only this ref.

PACKED

public static final Ref.Storage PACKED

The ref is stored in the packed-refs file, with others.

Updating this ref requires rewriting the file, with perhaps many other refs being included at the same time.

LOOSE_PACKED

public static final Ref.Storage LOOSE_PACKED

The ref is both LOOSE and PACKED.

Updating this ref requires only updating the loose file, but deletion requires updating both the loose file and the packed refs file.

NETWORK

public static final Ref.Storage NETWORK

The ref came from a network advertisement and storage is unknown.

This ref cannot be updated without Git-aware support on the remote side, as Git-aware code consolidate the remote refs and reported them to this process.

Method Detail

values

public static Ref.Storage[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Ref.Storage c : Ref.Storage.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Ref.Storage valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

isLoose

public boolean isLoose()

Returns:

true if this storage has a loose file.

isPacked

public boolean isPacked()

Returns:

true if this storage is inside the packed file.
