When we are updating more than one single ref, i.e. not a commit, then
write the updated refs directly to the packed refs file instead of writing
them as loose refs.
Change clone to use a transaction instead of using the packed refs API.
This changes the behavior of clone slightly. Previously clone would always
clone all refs into a packed refs file. With this change clone will only
clone into packed refs iff there are two or more refs being cloned.
If the repository we are cloning from only contains exactly one single ref
then clone will now store this as a loose ref. The benefit here is that
we no longer need to export a bunch of API functions to clone to access
packed refs directly. Clone can now just use a normal transaction and all
the packed refs goodness will happen automatically.
Update the t5516 test to cope with the fact that clone now only uses
packed refs if there are more than one ref being cloned.
We still use loose refs for single ref transactions, such as are used
by 'git commit' and friends. The reason for this is that if you have very
many refs then having to re-write the whole packed refs file for every
common operation like commit would have a performance impact.
That said, with these changes it should now be fairly straightforward to
add support to optionally start using packed refs for ALL updates
which could solve existing issues with name clashes in case insensitive
filesystems.
This change also means that multi-ref updates will now appear as a single
atomic change to any external observers instead of a sequence of discreete
changes.
