These patches can also be found at: https://github.com/rsahlberg/git/tree/ref-transactions-rename This series is based on, and applies ontop of, the previous ref-transactions-reflog series, also found at my githup repo. This series updates the reflog handling and converts rename_ref to use a single transaction to delete the old ref, create the new ref and to move the reflog. In order to make the transaction fully atomic we also introduce support for using the packed refs file for performing the delete-and-create that is done during the rename. This means that the rename operation is fully atomic for all external observers and there is no longer a point in time where the sha1 is unreferenced, after the old ref has been deleted but before the new ref has been created. Additionally, since we now use the transaction API for the reflog changes we no longer need to disallow renames for refs whose reflogs are symbolic links. Version 3: - Updated to build ontop of current ref-transactions-reflog Ronnie Sahlberg (5): refs.c: allow passing raw git_committer_info as email to _update_reflog refs.c: return error instead of dying when locking fails during transaction refs.c: use packed refs when deleting refs during a transaction refs.c: update rename_ref to use a transaction refs.c: rollback the lockfile before we die() in repack_without_refs builtin/remote.c | 13 +- refs.c | 368 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- refs.h | 1 + t/t3200-branch.sh | 7 -- 4 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 180 deletions(-) -- 2.0.0.467.g08c0633 -- 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
