| Parameters | name | the refname to read |

Set a refname to new_ref only if it currently equals old_ref.
This method follows all symbolic references if applicable for the subclass, and can be used to perform an atomic compare-and-swap operation.
| Parameters | name | The refname to set. |
| old_ref | The old sha the refname must refer to, or None to set unconditionally. | |
| new_ref | The new sha the refname will refer to. | |
| Returns | True if the set was successful, False otherwise. | |
Remove a refname only if it currently equals old_ref.
This method does not follow symbolic references, even if applicable for the subclass. It can be used to perform an atomic compare-and-delete operation.
| Parameters | name | The refname to delete. |
| old_ref | The old sha the refname must refer to, or None to delete unconditionally. | |
| Returns | True if the delete was successful, False otherwise. | |
| Parameters | name | Name of the ref to peel |
| Returns | The peeled value of the ref. If the ref is known not point to a tag, this will be the SHA the ref refers to. If the ref may point to a tag, but no cached information is available, None is returned. | |
