[PATCH 00/15] ref-transactions for reflogs

List, Jun,

This is the next patch series for ref-transactions. It is also available at

https://github.com/rsahlberg/git/tree/ref-transactions-reflog

and is the same patch series that has been posted previously with one exception: This series now contains an additional patch that fixes ref handling of broken refs. This patch allows a user to delete a ref that can not be resolved and contains a broken SHA1.

The main part of the patch series is to refactor the reflog handling
to use transactions and eventually leads up to :
* only a single place in the code where we marshall the reflog text line
* atomic transaction for reflog.c for performing the reflog expire
  operation.
This series is based on and builds on the previous series that is now in
origin/pu:
