[PATCH v2 1/4] wt-status: read HEAD and ORIG_HEAD via the refdb

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Dec 12, 2023, 07:18 UTC
Message-ID
<1db3eb3945432964aabe1c559db4c3ac251e83fd.1702365291.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1702365291.git.ps@pks.im>

We read both the HEAD and ORIG_HEAD references directly from the filesystem in order to figure out whether we're currently splitting a commit. If both of the following are true:

  - HEAD points to the same object as "rebase-merge/amend".
  - ORIG_HEAD points to the same object as "rebase-merge/orig-head".
Then we are currently splitting commits.

The current code only works by chance because we only have a single reference backend implementation. Refactor it to instead read both refs via the refdb layer so that we'll also be compatible with alternate reference backends.

Note that we pass `RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE` to `read_ref_full()`. This is because we didn't resolve symrefs before either, and in practice none of the refs in "rebase-merge/" would be symbolic. We thus don't want to resolve symrefs with the new code either to retain the old behaviour.
