14 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of ref updates
15 * that should succeed or fail together.
19 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
20 * `ref_transaction_begin()`.
22 * - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
23 * `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
25 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
26 * If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
27 * the transaction cannot be rolled back.
29 * - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
30 * transaction and free associated resources. In particular,
31 * this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
32 * successfully committed.
37 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
38 * went wrong to the 'err' argument. The message mentions what
39 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
40 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
42 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
43 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
