[PATCH 00/15] ref-transaction-rename

List,

Thsi series builds on the previous series : ref-transaction-reflog as applied to next. This series has been sent to the list before but is now rebased to current git next.

This series can also be found at : https://github.com/rsahlberg/git/tree/ref-transactions-rename

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.

Ronnie Sahlberg (15):
  refs.c: allow passing raw git_committer_info as email to
    _update_reflog
  refs.c: return error instead of dying when locking fails during
    transaction
  refs.c: use packed refs when deleting refs during a transaction
  refs.c: use a stringlist for repack_without_refs
  refs.c: update rename_ref to use a transaction
  refs.c: rollback the lockfile before we die() in repack_without_refs
  refs.c: move reflog updates into its own function
  refs.c: write updates to packed refs when a transaction has more than
    one ref
  remote.c: use a transaction for deleting refs
  refs.c: make repack_without_refs static
  refs.c: make the *_packed_refs functions static
  refs.c: replace the onerr argument in update_ref with a strbuf err
  refs.c: make add_packed_ref return an error instead of calling die
  refs.c: make lock_packed_refs take an err argument
  refs.c: add an err argument to pack_refs
