Something like the following?
commit aad6b84fd1869f6e1cf6ed15bcece0c2f6429e9d
Author: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 18 17:09:29 2016 -0500
    refs: break out some functions from resolve_ref_1
    
    A bunch of resolve_ref_1 is not backend-specific, so we can
    break it out into separate internal functions that other
    backends can use.
