Subject: [PATCH v3 9/9] update-ref: implement interactive transaction handling
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 09:10:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5670bea2b15bafbd93d7d507b35e54980ad06fb9.1585811014.git.ps@pks.im> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 12013 bytes --]

The git-update-ref(1) command can only handle queueing transactions
right now via its "--stdin" parameter, but there is no way for users to
handle the transaction itself in a more explicit way. E.g. in a
replicated scenario, one may imagine a coordinator that spawns
git-update-ref(1) for multiple repositories and only if all agree that
an update is possible will the coordinator send a commit. Such a
transactional session could look like

    > start
    < start: ok
    > update refs/heads/master $OLD $NEW
    > prepare
    < prepare: ok
    # All nodes have returned "ok"
    > commit
    < commit: ok

or

    > start
    < start: ok
    > create refs/heads/master $OLD $NEW
    > prepare
    < fatal: cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/master': reference already exists
    # On all other nodes:
    > abort
    < abort: ok

In order to allow for such transactional sessions, this commit
introduces four new commands for git-update-ref(1), which matches those
we have internally already with the exception of "start":

    - start: start a new transaction

    - prepare: prepare the transaction, that is try to lock all
               references and verify their current value matches the
               expected one

    - commit: explicitly commit a session, that is update references to
              match their new expected state

    - abort: abort a session and roll back all changes

By design, git-update-ref(1) will commit as soon as standard input is
being closed. While fine in a non-transactional world, it is definitely
unexpected in a transactional world. Because of this, as soon as any of
the new transactional commands is used, the default will change to
aborting without an explicit "commit". To avoid a race between queueing
updates and the first "prepare" that starts a transaction, the "start"
command has been added to start an explicit transaction.

Add some tests to exercise this new functionality.
