Class Branch

java.lang.Object

edu.ucsb.cs156.frontiers.entities.Branch

@Entity
public class Branch
extends Object

Represents a branch in a repository. Uses an embedded id because it allows us to easily reference other entities that need to know about the branch, such as commits.

This entity purposefully does not include a list of commits because it is intended to be a lightweight bookkeeping entity for easily tracking the last time commit data was updated, and also acts as a lifecycle owner for commits. When it is deleted, all the commits associated with it will be cascade deleted.

In general, this entity should not be returned to a user directly -- instead, use a DTO to project it. See CommitDto as an example.
