Class RefWriter

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jgit.lib.RefWriter

public abstract class RefWriter
extends Object

Writes out refs to the Constants.INFO_REFS and Constants.PACKED_REFS files. This class is abstract as the writing of the files must be handled by the caller. This is because it is used by transport classes as well.
