[PATCH v4 00/16] ref-transaction-rename

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This series builds on the previous series : ref-transaction-reflog
as applied to master. This series has been sent to the list before[1]

This series can also be found at github[2] as well as googlesource[3].

This series converts ref rename to use a transaction. This addesses several
issues in the old implementation, such as colliding renames might overwrite
someone elses reflog, and it makes the rename atomic.

As part of the series we also move changes that cover multiple refs to happen
as an atomic transaction/rename to the pacekd refs file. This makes it possible
to have both the rename case (one deleted ref + one created ref) as well
as any operation that updates multiple refs to become one atomic rename()
applied to the packed refs file. Thus all such changes are now also atomic
to all external observers.

Thanks,
Stefan

Version 2:
- Changed to not use potentially iterators to copy the reflog entries one
  by one. Instead adding two new functions. One to read an existing reflog
  as one big blob, and a second function to, in a transaction, write a new
  complete reflog from said blob.
  The idea is that each future reflog backend will provide optimized
  versions for these "read whole reflog" "write whole reflog" functions.

Version 3:
- Rename and redo the API for updating a whole reflog in one single operation
  to transaction_rename_reflog()

Version 4:
 * As Ronnie announced to change employers soon, he'll have only limited
   time to work on git in the near future. As this is a rather large patch
   series, he is handing this work over to me. That's why I'm sending the
   patches this time.
