+ * A freshly-created ref_iterator doesn't yet point at a reference. To

+ * the next reference and returns ITER_OK. The data pointed at by
+ * refname and oid belong to the iterator; if you want to retain them
+ * after calling ref_iterator_advance() again or calling
+ * ref_iterator_abort(), you must make a copy. When the iteration has
+ * been exhausted, ref_iterator_advance() releases any resources
+ * assocated with the iteration, frees the ref_iterator object, and
+ * returns ITER_DONE. If you want to abort the iteration early, call
+ * ref_iterator_abort(), which also frees the ref_iterator object and

+ * to the next entry, ref_iterator_advance() aborts the iteration,
+ * frees the ref_iterator, and returns ITER_ERROR.
+ *
+ * The reference currently being looked at can be peeled by calling
+ * ref_iterator_peel(). This function is often faster than peel_ref(),
+ * so it should be preferred when iterating over references.
+ *
+ * Putting it all together, a typical iteration looks like this:
+ *
+ * int ok;
+ * struct ref_iterator *iter = ...;
+ *
+ * while ((ok = ref_iterator_advance(iter)) == ITER_OK) {
