ref-filter: make 'ref_array_item' use a FLEX_ARRAY for refname

2015-08-03T17:24:07Z

This would remove the need of using a pointer to store refname. Mentored-by: Christian Couder Mentored-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

for-each-ref: introduce filter_refs()

2015-08-03T17:24:07Z

Introduce filter_refs() which will act as an API for filtering a set of refs. Based on the type of refs the user has requested, we iterate through those refs and apply filters as per the given ref_filter structure and finally store the filtered refs in the ref_array structure. Currently this will wrap around ref_filter_handler(). Hence, ref_filter_handler is made file scope static. As users of this API will no longer send a ref_filter_cbdata structure directly, we make the elements of ref_filter_cbdata pointers. We can now use the information given by the users to obtain our own ref_filter_cbdata structure. Changes are made to support the change in ref_filter_cbdata structure. Make 'for-each-ref' use this API.

ref-filter: add 'ref-filter.h'

2015-06-15T18:48:09Z

This is step one of creating a common library for 'for-each-ref', 'branch -l' and 'tag -l'. This creates a header file with the functions and data structures that ref-filter will provide. We move the data structures created in for-each-ref to this header file.
