[PATCH v4 2/4] update-ref: allow creation of multiple transactions

From

Message-ID
<8a05b48223f2829f536ea1f95f58c017efb8cf3d.1605254957.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1605254957.git.ps@pks.im>

While git-update-ref has recently grown commands which allow interactive control of transactions in e48cf33b61 (update-ref: implement interactive transaction handling, 2020-04-02), it is not yet possible to create multiple transactions in a single session. To do so, one currently still needs to invoke the executable multiple times.

This commit addresses this shortcoming by allowing the "start" command to create a new transaction if the current transaction has already been either committed or aborted.
