2022-01-20reftable: make reftable_record a tagged unionLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys1-17/+16
This reduces the amount of glue code, because we don't need a void pointer or vtable within the structure. The only snag is that reftable_index_record contain a strbuf, so it cannot be zero-initialized. To address this, use reftable_new_record() to return fresh instance, given a record type. Since reftable_new_record() doesn't cause heap allocation anymore, it should be balanced with reftable_record_release() rather than reftable_record_destroy(). Thanks to Peff for the suggestion.

2021-10-08reftable: add merged table viewLibravatar Han-Wen Nienhuys1-0/+362
This adds an abstract, read-only interface to the ref database. This primitive is used to construct the read view of the ref database (the read view is constructed by merging several *.ref files). It also provides the mechanism to provide a unified view of the refs in the main repository and the per-worktree refs.
