Re: [PATCH 6/9] refs: add reflog_info to hold more fields for reflog entry

>
> From: Jiang Xin <zhiyou.jx@alibaba-inc.com>

> The parameter "msg" of the functions "ref_transaction_add_update()" and
> "refs_update_ref()" is used as a comment for creating a new reflog
> entry. For some cases, like copying or renaming a branch, we may need
> more custom fields for the new reflog entry, such as old-oid which is
> different from the oid we get from the lock file. Therefore, we create
> a new structure "reflog_info" to hold more custom fields for the new
> reflog entry, and add two additional extended version functions.

> We will use this extension in a later commit to reimplement
> "files_copy_or_rename_ref()" using "refs_update_ref_extended()" to
> create new reference in a transaction and add proper reflog entry.
