5 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of ref updates
6 * that should succeed or fail together.
8 * Calling sequence
9 * ----------------
10 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
11 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
13 * - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
14 * `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
16 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
17 * If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
18 * the transaction cannot be rolled back.
20 * - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
21 * transaction and free associated resources. In particular,
22 * this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
23 * successfully committed.
25 * Error handling
26 * --------------
28 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
29 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
30 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
31 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
33 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
34 * err will not be '\n' terminated.

258 * Reference transaction updates
260 * The following four functions add a reference check or update to a
261 * ref_transaction. They have some common similar parameters:
263 * transaction -- a pointer to an open ref_transaction, obtained
264 * from ref_transaction_begin().
266 * refname -- the name of the reference to be affected.
268 * flags -- flags affecting the update, passed to
269 * update_ref_lock(). Can be REF_NODEREF, which means that
270 * symbolic references should not be followed.
272 * msg -- a message describing the change (for the reflog).
274 * err -- a strbuf for receiving a description of any error that
275 * might have occured.
277 * The functions make internal copies of refname and msg, so the
278 * caller retains ownership of these parameters.
280 * The functions return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. A
281 * failure means that the transaction as a whole has failed and needs
282 * to be rolled back.
286 * Add a reference update to transaction. new_sha1 is the value that
287 * the reference should have after the update, or null_sha1 if it
288 * should be deleted. If new_sha1 is NULL, then the reference is not
289 * changed at all. old_sha1 is the value that the reference must have
290 * before the update, or null_sha1 if it must not have existed
291 * beforehand. The old value is checked after the lock is taken to
292 * prevent races. If the old value doesn't agree with old_sha1, the
293 * whole transaction fails. If old_sha1 is NULL, then the previous
294 * value is not checked.
