Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`LOOSE`	The ref is stored in a file by itself.
`LOOSE_PACKED`	The ref is both `LOOSE` and `PACKED`.
`NETWORK`	The ref came from a network advertisement and storage is unknown.
`NEW`	The ref does not exist yet, updating it may create it.
`PACKED`	The ref is stored in the `packed-refs` file, with others.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - NEW
```
public static final Ref.Storage NEW
```
    The ref does not exist yet, updating it may create it.
    Creation is likely to choose LOOSE storage.
  - LOOSE
```
public static final Ref.Storage LOOSE
```
    The ref is stored in a file by itself.
    Updating this ref affects only this ref.
  - PACKED
```
public static final Ref.Storage PACKED
```
    The ref is stored in the packed-refs file, with others.
    Updating this ref requires rewriting the file, with perhaps many other refs being included at the same time.
  - LOOSE_PACKED
```
public static final Ref.Storage LOOSE_PACKED
```
    The ref is both LOOSE and PACKED.
    Updating this ref requires only updating the loose file, but deletion requires updating both the loose file and the packed refs file.
  - NETWORK
```
public static final Ref.Storage NETWORK
```
    The ref came from a network advertisement and storage is unknown.
    This ref cannot be updated without Git-aware support on the remote side, as Git-aware code consolidate the remote refs and reported them to this process.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Ref.Storage[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (Ref.Storage c : Ref.Storage.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Ref.Storage valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - isLoose
```
public boolean isLoose()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this storage has a loose file.
  - isPacked
```
public boolean isPacked()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this storage is inside the packed file.
