Class RefUpdate


  • public abstract class RefUpdate
    extends Object
    Creates, updates or deletes any reference.
    • Constructor Detail

      • RefUpdate

        protected RefUpdate​(Ref ref)
        Construct a new update operation for the reference.

        ref.getObjectId() will be used to seed getOldObjectId(), which callers can use as part of their own update logic.

        Parameters:
        ref - the reference that will be updated by this operation.
    • Method Detail

      • getRefDatabase

        protected abstract RefDatabase getRefDatabase()
        Get the reference database this update modifies.
        Returns:
        the reference database this update modifies.
      • getRepository

        protected abstract Repository getRepository()
        Get the repository storing the database's objects.
        Returns:
        the repository storing the database's objects.
      • tryLock

        protected abstract boolean tryLock​(boolean deref)
                                    throws IOException
        Try to acquire the lock on the reference.

        If the locking was successful the implementor must set the current identity value by calling setOldObjectId(ObjectId).

        Parameters:
        deref - true if the lock should be taken against the leaf level reference; false if it should be taken exactly against the current reference.
        Returns:
        true if the lock was acquired and the reference is likely protected from concurrent modification; false if it failed.
        Throws:
        IOException - the lock couldn't be taken due to an unexpected storage failure, and not because of a concurrent update.
      • unlock

        protected abstract void unlock()
        Releases the lock taken by tryLock(boolean) if it succeeded.
      • getName

        public String getName()
        Get the name of the ref this update will operate on.
        Returns:
        name of underlying ref.
      • getRef

        public Ref getRef()
        Get the reference this update will create or modify.
        Returns:
        the reference this update will create or modify.
      • getNewObjectId

        public ObjectId getNewObjectId()
        Get the new value the ref will be (or was) updated to.
        Returns:
        new value. Null if the caller has not configured it.
      • setDetachingSymbolicRef

        public void setDetachingSymbolicRef()
        Tells this RefUpdate that it is actually detaching a symbolic ref.
      • isDetachingSymbolicRef

        public boolean isDetachingSymbolicRef()
        Return whether this update is actually detaching a symbolic ref.
        Returns:
        true if detaching a symref.
        Since:
        4.9
      • setNewObjectId

        public void setNewObjectId​(AnyObjectId id)
        Set the new value the ref will update to.
        Parameters:
        id - the new value.
      • getExpectedOldObjectId

        public ObjectId getExpectedOldObjectId()
        Get the expected value of the ref after the lock is taken, but before update occurs.
        Returns:
        the expected value of the ref after the lock is taken, but before update occurs. Null to avoid the compare and swap test. Use ObjectId.zeroId() to indicate expectation of a non-existant ref.
      • setExpectedOldObjectId

        public void setExpectedOldObjectId​(AnyObjectId id)
        Set the expected value of the ref after the lock is taken, but before update occurs.
        Parameters:
        id - the expected value of the ref after the lock is taken, but before update occurs. Null to avoid the compare and swap test. Use ObjectId.zeroId() to indicate expectation of a non-existant ref.
      • isForceUpdate

        public boolean isForceUpdate()
        Check if this update wants to forcefully change the ref.
        Returns:
        true if this update should ignore merge tests.
      • setForceUpdate

        public void setForceUpdate​(boolean b)
        Set if this update wants to forcefully change the ref.
        Parameters:
        b - true if this update should ignore merge tests.
      • getRefLogIdent

        public PersonIdent getRefLogIdent()
        Get identity of the user making the change in the reflog.
        Returns:
        identity of the user making the change in the reflog.
      • setRefLogIdent

        public void setRefLogIdent​(PersonIdent pi)
        Set the identity of the user appearing in the reflog.

        The timestamp portion of the identity is ignored. A new identity with the current timestamp will be created automatically when the update occurs and the log record is written.

        Parameters:
        pi - identity of the user. If null the identity will be automatically determined based on the repository configuration.
      • getRefLogMessage

        public String getRefLogMessage()
        Get the message to include in the reflog.
        Returns:
        message the caller wants to include in the reflog; null if the update should not be logged.
      • isRefLogIncludingResult

        protected boolean isRefLogIncludingResult()
        Whether the ref log message should show the result.
        Returns:
        true if the ref log message should show the result.
      • setRefLogMessage

        public void setRefLogMessage​(String msg,
                                     boolean appendStatus)
        Set the message to include in the reflog.

        Repository implementations may limit which reflogs are written by default, based on the project configuration. If a repo is not configured to write logs for this ref by default, setting the message alone may have no effect. To indicate that the repo should write logs for this update in spite of configured defaults, use setForceRefLog(boolean).

        Parameters:
        msg - the message to describe this change. It may be null if appendStatus is null in order not to append to the reflog
        appendStatus - true if the status of the ref change (fast-forward or forced-update) should be appended to the user supplied message.
      • disableRefLog

        public void disableRefLog()
        Don't record this update in the ref's associated reflog.
      • setForceRefLog

        public void setForceRefLog​(boolean force)
        Force writing a reflog for the updated ref.
        Parameters:
        force - whether to force.

        Since:
        4.9
      • getOldObjectId

        public ObjectId getOldObjectId()
        The old value of the ref, prior to the update being attempted.

        This value may differ before and after the update method. Initially it is populated with the value of the ref before the lock is taken, but the old value may change if someone else modified the ref between the time we last read it and when the ref was locked for update.

        Returns:
        the value of the ref prior to the update being attempted; null if the updated has not been attempted yet.
      • setOldObjectId

        protected void setOldObjectId​(ObjectId old)
        Set the old value of the ref.
        Parameters:

        Returns:
        the status of the update.
      • forceUpdate

        public RefUpdate.Result forceUpdate()
                                     throws IOException
        Force the ref to take the new value.

        This is just a convenient helper for setting the force flag, and as such the merge test is performed.

        Returns:
        the result status of the update.
        Throws:
        IOException - an unexpected IO error occurred while writing changes.

        Gracefully update the ref to the new value.

        Merge test will be performed according to isForceUpdate().

        This is the same as:

         return update(new RevWalk(getRepository()));
         
        Returns:
        the result status of the update.
        Throws:
        IOException - an unexpected IO error occurred while writing changes.
      • update

        public RefUpdate.Result update​(RevWalk walk)
                                throws IOException

        Returns:
        the result status of the update.
        Throws:
        IOException - an unexpected IO error occurred while writing changes.

        the result status of the delete.
        Throws:

                              throws IOException
        Replace this reference with a symbolic reference to another reference.

        This exact reference (not its traversed leaf) is replaced with a symbolic reference to the requested name.

        Parameters:
        target - name of the new target for this reference. The new target name must be absolute, so it must begin with refs/.
        Returns:
        RefUpdate.Result.NEW or RefUpdate.Result.FORCED on success.
        Throws:
        IOException
      • setCheckConflicting

        public void setCheckConflicting​(boolean check)
