Parameters

The long name for the reference (e.g. HEAD, ref/heads/master, refs/tags/v0.1.0, …).

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

error

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
