Expand description

A fully owned backend agnostic reference

Fields

name: FullName

The path to uniquely identify this ref within its store.

target: Target

The target of the reference, either a symbolic reference by full name or a possibly intermediate object by its id.

peeled: Option<ObjectId>

The fully peeled object to which this reference ultimately points to. Only guaranteed to be set after peel_to_id_in_place() was called.

Implementations

Returns the kind of reference based on its target

Return the full validated name of the reference, with the given namespace stripped if possible.

If the reference name wasn’t prefixed with namespace, None is returned instead.

Strip the given namespace from our name as well as the name, but not the reference we point to.
