Jonathan Tan	ddd3e31242	decorate: clean up and document API ... Improve the names of the identifiers in decorate.h, document them, and add an example of how to use these functions. The example is compiled and run as part of the test suite. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	2017-12-08 09:16:27 -08:00
Jeff King	54988bdad7	decorate: allow const objects to be decorated ... We don't actually modify the struct object, so there is no reason not to accept const versions (and this allows other callsites, like the next patch, to use the decoration machinery).

Linus Torvalds	a59b276e18	Add a generic "object decorator" interface, and make object refs use it ... This allows you to add an arbitrary "decoration" of your choice to any object. It's a space- and time-efficient way to add information to arbitrary objects, especially if most objects probably do not have the decoration.
