public class RefDirectory extends RefDatabase
Traditional file system basedRefDatabase
.This is the classical reference database representation for a Git repository. References are stored in two formats: loose, and packed.
Loose references are stored as individual files within the
refs/
directory. The file name matches the reference name and the file contents is the currentObjectId
in string form.Packed references are stored in a single text file named
packed-refs
. In the packed format, each reference is stored on its own line. This file reduces the number of files needed for large reference spaces, reducing the overall size of a Git repository on disk.

Method Detail
-
logFor
public File logFor(String name)
Locate the log file on disk for a single reference name.- Parameters:
name
- name of the ref, relative to the Git repository top level directory (so typically starts with refs/).- Returns:
- the log file location.
-
create
public void create() throws IOException
Initialize a new reference database at this location.- Specified by:
create
in classRefDatabase
- Throws:
IOException
- the database could not be created.
-
close
public void close()
Close any resources held by this database.- Specified by:
close
in classRefDatabase
-
refresh
public void refresh()
Triggers a refresh of all internal data structures.In case the RefDatabase implementation has internal caches this method will trigger that all these caches are cleared.
Implementors should overwrite this method if they use any kind of caches.
- Overrides:
refresh
in classRefDatabase
-
isNameConflicting
public boolean isNameConflicting(String name) throws IOException
Determine if a proposed reference name overlaps with an existing one.Reference names use '/' as a component separator, and may be stored in a hierarchical storage such as a directory on the local filesystem.
If the reference "refs/heads/foo" exists then "refs/heads/foo/bar" must not exist, as a reference cannot have a value and also be a container for other references at the same time.
If the reference "refs/heads/foo/bar" exists than the reference "refs/heads/foo" cannot exist, for the same reason.
- Specified by:
isNameConflicting
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
name
- proposed name.- Returns:
- true if the name overlaps with an existing reference; false if using this name right now would be safe.
- Throws:
IOException
- the database could not be read to check for conflicts.- See Also:
RefDatabase.getConflictingNames(String)
-
exactRef
public Ref exactRef(String name) throws IOException
Read a single reference.Unlike
RefDatabase.findRef(java.lang.String)
, this method expects an unshortened reference name and does not search using the standardRefDatabase.SEARCH_PATH
.- Specified by:
exactRef
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
name
- the unabbreviated name of the reference.- Returns:
- the reference (if it exists); else
null
. - Throws:
IOException
- the reference space cannot be accessed.
-
exactRef
@NonNull public Map<String,Ref> exactRef(String... refs) throws IOException
Read the specified references.This method expects a list of unshortened reference names and returns a map from reference names to refs. Any named references that do not exist will not be included in the returned map.
- Overrides:
exactRef
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
refs
- the unabbreviated names of references to look up.- Returns:
- modifiable map describing any refs that exist among the ref ref names supplied. The map can be an unsorted map.
- Throws:
IOException
- the reference space cannot be accessed.
-
firstExactRef
@Nullable public Ref firstExactRef(String... refs) throws IOException
Find the first named reference.This method expects a list of unshortened reference names and returns the first that exists.
- Overrides:
firstExactRef
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
refs
- the unabbreviated names of references to look up.- Returns:
- the first named reference that exists (if any); else
null
. - Throws:
IOException
- the reference space cannot be accessed.
-
getRefs
public Map<String,Ref> getRefs(String prefix) throws IOException
Get a section of the reference namespace.- Specified by:
getRefs
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
prefix
- prefix to search the namespace with; must end with/
. If the empty string (RefDatabase.ALL
), obtain a complete snapshot of all references.- Returns:
- modifiable map that is a complete snapshot of the current
reference namespace, with
prefix
removed from the start of each key. The map can be an unsorted map. - Throws:
IOException
- the reference space cannot be accessed.
-
getAdditionalRefs
public List<Ref> getAdditionalRefs() throws IOException
Get the additional reference-like entities from the repository.The result list includes non-ref items such as MERGE_HEAD and FETCH_RESULT cast to be refs. The names of these refs are not returned by
getRefs()
but are accepted byRefDatabase.findRef(String)
andRefDatabase.exactRef(String)
.- Specified by:
getAdditionalRefs
in classRefDatabase
- Returns:
- a list of additional refs
- Throws:
IOException
- the reference space cannot be accessed.
-
peel
public Ref peel(Ref ref) throws IOException
Peel a possibly unpeeled reference by traversing the annotated tags.If the reference cannot be peeled (as it does not refer to an annotated tag) the peeled id stays null, but
Ref.isPeeled()
will be true.Implementors should check
Ref.isPeeled()
before performing any additional work effort.- Specified by:
peel
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
ref
- The reference to peel- Returns:
ref
ifref.isPeeled()
is true; otherwise a new Ref object representing the same data as Ref, but isPeeled() will be true and getPeeledObjectId() will contain the peeled object (ornull
).- Throws:
IOException
- the reference space or object space cannot be accessed.
-
newUpdate
public org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.RefDirectoryUpdate newUpdate(String name, boolean detach) throws IOException
Create a new update command to create, modify or delete a reference.- Specified by:
newUpdate
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
name
- the name of the reference.detach
- iftrue
andname
is currently aSymbolicRef
, the update will replace it with anObjectIdRef
. Otherwise, the update will recursively traverseSymbolicRef
s and operate on the leafObjectIdRef
.- Returns:
- a new update for the requested name; never null.
- Throws:
IOException
- the reference space cannot be accessed.
-
newRename
public org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.RefDirectoryRename newRename(String fromName, String toName) throws IOException
Create a new update command to rename a reference.- Specified by:
newRename
in classRefDatabase
- Parameters:
fromName
- name of reference to rename fromtoName
- name of reference to rename to- Returns:
- an update command that knows how to rename a branch to another.
- Throws:
IOException
- the reference space cannot be accessed.
-
newBatchUpdate
public org.eclipse.jgit.internal.storage.file.PackedBatchRefUpdate newBatchUpdate()
Create a new batch update to attempt on this database.The default implementation performs a sequential update of each command.
- Overrides:
newBatchUpdate
in classRefDatabase
- Returns:
- a new batch update object.
-
performsAtomicTransactions
public boolean performsAtomicTransactions()
Whether the database is capable of performing batch updates as atomic transactions.If true, by default
BatchRefUpdate
instances will perform updates atomically, meaning either all updates will succeed, or all updates will fail. It is still possible to turn off this behavior on a per-batch basis by callingupdate.setAtomic(false)
.If false,
BatchRefUpdate
instances will never perform updates atomically, and callingupdate.setAtomic(true)
will cause the entire batch to fail withREJECTED_OTHER_REASON
.This definition of atomicity is stronger than what is provided by
ReceivePack
.ReceivePack
will attempt to reject all commands if it knows in advance some commands may fail, even if the storage layer does not support atomic transactions. Here, atomicity applies even in the case of unforeseeable errors.- Overrides:
performsAtomicTransactions
in classRefDatabase
- Returns:
- whether transactions are atomic by default.
-
pack
public void pack(List<String> refs) throws IOException
Adds a set of refs to the set of packed-refs. Only non-symbolic refs are added. If a ref with the given name already existed in packed-refs it is updated with the new value. Each loose ref which was added to the packed-ref file is deleted. If a given ref can't be locked it will not be added to the pack file.- Parameters:
refs
- the refs to be added. Must be fully qualified.- Throws:
IOException
