[PATCH v2 05/11] files_pack_refs(): use a reference transaction to write packed refs

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Sep 8, 2017, 13:51 UTC
Message-ID
<ebdd82025b884bdd632a6c4856d07a5011566571.1504877858.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1504877858.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`.
