builtin/pack-refs: factor out core logic into a shared library

2025-09-19T17:02:55Z

The implementation of `git pack-refs` is monolithic within `cmd_pack_refs()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs optimize` subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function. Split the original `builtin/pack-refs.c` file into two parts: - A new shared library file, `pack-refs.c`, which contains the core option parsing and packing logic in a new `pack_refs_core()` helper function. - The original `builtin/pack-refs.c`, which is now a thin wrapper responsible only for defining the `git pack-refs` command and calling the shared helper. A new `pack-refs.h` header is also introduced to define the public interface for this shared logic.

pack-refs: merge code from pack-refs.{c,h} into refs.{c,h}

2013-05-01T22:33:11Z

pack-refs.c doesn't contain much code, and the code it does contain is closely related to reference handling. Moreover, there is some duplication between pack_refs() and repack_without_ref(). Therefore, merge pack-refs.c into refs.c and pack-refs.h into refs.h. The code duplication will be addressed in future commits. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Move pack_refs() and friends into libgit

2008-06-19T22:53:13Z

This moves pack_refs() and underlying functionality into the library, to make pack-refs functionality easily available to all git programs. Most of builtin-pack-refs.c has been moved verbatim into a new file pack-refs.c that is compiled into libgit.a. A corresponding header file, pack-refs.h, has also been added, declaring pack_refs() and the #defines associated with the flags parameter to pack_refs(). This patch introduces no other changes in functionality. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
