[PATCH v3 3/6] refs: allow skipping the reference-transaction hook

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jan 13, 2022, 06:11 UTC
Message-ID
<be826bae3b564fe003778ea10cb2e06fc753c21d.1642054003.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1642054003.git.ps@pks.im>

The reference-transaction hook is executing whenever we prepare, commit or abort a reference transaction. While this is mostly intentional, in case of the files backend we're leaking the implementation detail that the store is in fact a composite store with one loose and one packed backend to the caller. So while we want to execute the hook for all logical updates, executing it for such implementation details is unexpected.

Prepare for a fix by adding a new flag which allows to skip execution of the hook.
