Comment (by aaugustin):
`Atomic` is a context-manager / decorator in order to enforce proper
matching between `__enter__` and `__exit__` calls. If the calls aren't
balanced properly, data loss will happen, and it may be hard to diagnose.
That's why I've historically rejected the idea of exposing this methods
through public APIs.
Django uses the hack carljm suggests in its own test setUp / tearDown
functions. See `TestCase._enter_atomics` and `_rollback_atomics`. That's
exactly the OP's use case, so I suggest using that as a stop gap solution.
Don't forget to call `set_rollback(True)` before exiting, since you want a
rollback.
For the ORM to function with autocommit off, we should change the
`savepoint` parameter of `atomic` to add a third-value, `None` (three-
valued booleans, grrr), which would mean "automatic" and be implemented as
follows:
if self.savepoint is None:
self.savepoint = not connection.in_atomic_block and not
connection.get_autocommit()
In other words, it would mean "no savepoint, unless I'm the outermost
atomic block in a connection that is already in a transaction, which means
I can't use a plain transaction"
That's backwards incompatible. It just makes Django cope with a situation
where it would previously rais `TransactionManagementError`.
