A transaction on a file store

Implementations

source

impl<'s> Transaction<'s>

source

pub fn prepare(
 self,
 edits: impl IntoIterator<Item = RefEdit>,
 lock_fail_mode: Fail
) -> Result<Self, Error>

Prepare for calling commit(…) in a way that can be rolled back perfectly.

If the operation succeeds, the transaction can be committed or dropped to cause a rollback automatically. Rollbacks happen automatically on failure and they tend to be perfect. This method is idempotent.

source

impl<'s> Transaction<'s>

source

pub fn commit(self, committer: &Signature) -> Result<Vec<RefEdit>, Error>

Make all prepared permanent and return the performed edits which represent the current state of the affected refs in the ref store in that instant. Please note that the obtained edits may have been adjusted to contain more dependent edits or additional information. committer is used in the reflog.

On error the transaction may have been performed partially, depending on the nature of the error, and no attempt to roll back partial changes is made.

In this stage, we perform the following operations:

update the ref log
move updated refs into place
delete reflogs and empty parent directories
delete packed refs
delete their corresponding reference (if applicable) along with empty parent directories

Note that transactions will be prepared automatically as needed.
