   5 * A ref_transaction represents a collection of ref updates
   6 * that should succeed or fail together.
   7 *
   8 * Calling sequence
   9 * ----------------
  10 * - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
  11 *   `ref_transaction_begin()`.
  12 *
  13 * - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
  14 *   `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
  15 *
  16 * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
  17 *   If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
  18 *   the transaction cannot be rolled back.
  19 *
  20 * - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
  21 *   transaction and free associated resources.  In particular,
  22 *   this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
  23 *   successfully committed.
  24 *
  25 * Error handling
  26 * --------------
  27 *
  28 * On error, transaction functions append a message about what
  29 * went wrong to the 'err' argument.  The message mentions what
  30 * ref was being updated (if any) when the error occurred so it
  31 * can be passed to 'die' or 'error' as-is.
  32 *
  33 * The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
  34 * err will not be '\n' terminated.
