When performing a reflog transaction update, only write to the reflog iff
msg is non-NULL. This can then be combined with REFLOG_TRUNCATE to perform
an update that only truncates but does not write. This change only affects
whether or not a reflog entry should be generated and written. If msg == NULL
then no such entry will be written.
Orthogonal to this we have a boolean flag REFLOG_TRUNCATE which is used to
tell the transaction system to "truncate the reflog and thus discard all
previous users".
At the current time the only place where we use msg == NULL is also the
place, where we use REFLOG_TRUNCATE. Even though these two settings are
currently only ever used together it still makes sense to have them through
two separate knobs.
This allows future consumers of this API that may want to do things
differently. For example someone can do:
msg="Reflog truncated by Bob because ..." + REFLOG_TRUNCATE
and have it truncate the log and have it start fresh with an initial message
that explains the log was truncated. This API allows that.
During one transaction we allow to make multiple reflog updates to the
same ref. This means we only need to lock the reflog once, during the first
update that touches the reflog, and that all further updates can just write the
reflog entry since the reflog is already locked.
This allows us to write code such as:
t = transaction_begin()
transaction_reflog_update(t, "foo", REFLOG_TRUNCATE, NULL);
loop-over-something...
transaction_reflog_update(t, "foo", 0, <message>);
transaction_commit(t)
where we first truncate the reflog and then build the new content one line
at a time.
