[PATCH 05/10] files_pack_refs(): use a reference transaction to write packed refs

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Aug 29, 2017, 08:20 UTC
Message-ID
<2280d995f8516f296859ee583da112790e764b98.1503993268.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1503993268.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Now that the packed reference store supports transactions, we can use a transaction to write the packed versions of references that we want to pack. This decreases the coupling between `files_ref_store` and `packed_ref_store`.
