object-name: turn INTERPRET_BRANCH_* constants into enum values

2026-03-18T19:52:29Z

Replace the INTERPRET_BRANCH_* preprocessor constants with enum values and use that type where these flags are stored or passed around. These flags describe which kinds of branches may be considered during branch-name interpretation, so represent them as an enum describing branch kinds while keeping the existing bitmask semantics and INTERPRET_BRANCH_* element names.

refs: extract out `refs_create_refdir_stubs()`

2026-02-25T17:27:12Z

For Git to recognize a directory as a Git directory, it requires the directory to contain: 1. 'HEAD' file 2. 'objects/' directory 3. 'refs/' directory Here, #1 and #3 are part of the reference storage mechanism, specifically the files backend. Since then, newer backends such as the reftable backend have moved to using their own path ('reftable/') for storing references. But to ensure Git still recognizes the directory as a Git directory, we create stubs. There are two locations where we create stubs: - In 'refs/reftable-backend.c' when creating the reftable backend. - In 'clone.c' before spawning transport helpers. In a following commit, we'll add another instance. So instead of repeating the code, let's extract out this code to `refs_create_refdir_stubs()` and use it.
