How to handle packed refs during a transaction

Variants

DeletionsOnly

Only propagate deletions of references. This is the default. This means deleted references are removed from disk if they are loose and from the packed-refs file if they are present.

DeletionsAndNonSymbolicUpdates(Box<dyn Find + 'a>)

Propagate deletions as well as updates to references which are peeled and contain an object id.

This means deleted references are removed from disk if they are loose and from the packed-refs file if they are present, while updates are also written into the loose file as well as into packed-refs, potentially creating an entry.

DeletionsAndNonSymbolicUpdatesRemoveLooseSourceReference(Box<dyn Find + 'a>)

Propagate deletions as well as updates to references which are peeled and contain an object id. Furthermore delete the reference which is originally updated if it exists. If it doesn’t, the new value will be written into the packed ref right away. Note that this doesn’t affect symbolic references at all, which can’t be placed into packed refs.

Thus, this is similar to DeletionsAndNonSymbolicUpdates, but removes the loose reference after the update, leaving only their copy in packed-refs.
