From: Neeraj Singh <neerajsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When creating a subprocess with a temporary ODB, we set the
GIT_QUARANTINE_ENVIRONMENT env var to tell child Git processes not
to update refs, since the tmp-objdir may go away.
Introduce a similar mechanism for in-process temporary ODBs when
we call tmp_objdir_replace_primary_odb. Now both mechanisms set
the disable_ref_updates flag on the odb, which is queried by
the ref_transaction_prepare function.
Note: This change adds an assumption that the state of
the_repository is relevant for any ref transaction that might
be initiated. Unwinding this assumption should be straightforward
by saving the relevant repository to query in the transaction or
the ref_store.
Peff's test case was invoking ref updates via the cachetextconv
setting. That particular code silently does nothing when a ref
update is forbidden. See the call to notes_cache_put in
fill_textconv where errors are ignored.
