[PATCH v4 1/5] refs_update_symref: atomically record overwritten ref

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

 



When updating a symref it's currently not possible to know for sure what
was the previous value that was overwritten. Make use of
ref_transaction's atomicity and record the previous value there. Add
a new variable to refs_update_symref's signature to be able to pass this
information back up to callers.
