[PATCH v7 5/6] refs: add create_only option to refs_update_symref

From
Bence Ferdinandy <bence@ferdinandy.com>
Date
Oct 12, 2024, 23:03 UTC
Message-ID
<20241012230428.3259229-5-bence@ferdinandy.com>
In-Reply-To
<20241012230428.3259229-1-bence@ferdinandy.com>

Allow the caller to specify that it only wants to update the symref if it does not already exist. Silently ignore the error from the transaction API if the symref already exists.

Signed-off-by: Bence Ferdinandy <bence@ferdinandy.com>

Notes:
    v4: new patch
    v5: no change
    
    v6: - switched from bool to int for create_only
        - refactored logic in refs_update_symref with goto as layed out by
          Junio
    
    v7: - change commit prefix to be more in line with project standards
        - refactored code to accommodate changes in the first patch, but
          otherwise no change
