This patch series is available also from https://github.com/rsahlberg/git/tree/ref-transactions-next and is based on https://github.com/rsahlberg/git/tree/ref-transactions This is a preview of the direction for the transaction work and finished converting also reflog handling to transactions. This greatly simplifies both the implementation of rename_ref in refs.c as well as reflog.c This patch series is not fully finished and can not be applied until the previous series is merged. Once this series is finished we will be in pretty good shape to start experimenting with alternative refs backends such as a TDB database. Ronnie Sahlberg (31): refs.c make ref_transaction_create a wrapper to ref_transaction_update refs.c: make ref_transaction_delete a wrapper for ref_transaction_update refs.c: rename the transaction functions refs.c: add a new update_type field to ref_update refs.c: add a function to append a reflog entry to a fd refs.c: add a transaction function to append a reflog entry refs.c: add a flag to allow reflog updates to truncate the log refs.c: only write reflog update if msg is non-NULL refs.c: allow multiple reflog updates during a single transaction reflog.c: use a reflog transaction when writing during expire refs.c: null terminate the string in copy_msg refs.c: track the refnames we are deleting in the transaction structure refs.c: update the list of deleted refs during _update instead of _commit refs.c: return error instead of dying when locking fails during transaction refs.c: lock the ref during _update instead of during _commit refs.c: add an error argument to create/delete/update just like commit refs.c: make _update_reflog take an error argument refs.c: return immediately from _commit if the transaction has an error tests: move tests for -z update/delete/verify to after the ref is created refs.c: check for lock conflicts already in _update refs.c allow multiple updates of the same ref in a transaction refs.c: release all remaining locks during transaction_free reflog.c: use the existing transaction to also lock and update the ref refs.c: make unlock_ref static refs.c: make close_ref static refs.c: make commit_ref static refs.c: remove the function lock_any_ref_for_update refs.c: make struct ref_lock private to refs.c refs.c: allow passing raw git_committer_info as email to _update_reflog refs.c: move ref_update and other definitions to earlier in the file refs.c: use the transaction to manage the reflog in rename_refs branch.c | 11 +- builtin/commit.c | 14 +- builtin/fetch.c | 10 +- builtin/receive-pack.c | 11 +- builtin/reflog.c | 76 +++--- builtin/replace.c | 10 +- builtin/tag.c | 10 +- builtin/update-ref.c | 34 +-- fast-import.c | 26 ++- refs.c | 611 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- refs.h | 86 +++---- sequencer.c | 12 +- t/t1400-update-ref.sh | 59 +++-- walker.c | 15 +- 14 files changed, 610 insertions(+), 375 deletions(-) -- 2.0.0.rc3.506.g3739a35 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
