A crate for handling the references stored in various formats in a git repository.

References are also called refs which are used interchangeably.

Refs are the way to keep track of objects and come in two flavors.

  • symbolic refs are pointing to another reference
  • peeled refs point to the an object by its [ObjectId]

They can be identified by a relative path and stored in various flavors.

  • files
    • [loose][file::Store]
      • one reference maps to a file on disk
    • packed
      • references are stored in a single human-readable file, along with their targets if they are symbolic.
