Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] add ref content check for files backend

Here is another one.

By the way, Peff, do we have MAYBE_UNUSED that can be used in a case
like this one?  Platforms without symbolic links supported may well
define NO_SYMLINK_HEAD, which makes the incoming parameters unused.

static int create_ref_symlink(struct ref_lock *lock, const char *target)
{
	int ret = -1;
#ifndef NO_SYMLINK_HEAD
	char *ref_path = get_locked_file_path(&lock->lk);
	unlink(ref_path);
	ret = symlink(target, ref_path);
	free(ref_path);

	if (ret)
		fprintf(stderr, "no symlink - falling back to symbolic ref\n");
#endif
	return ret;
}

We can of course do the attached, which I'll let shejialuo to squash
into an appropriate patch in the series.

Thanks.
