* If this succeeds, the ref updates will have taken place and
* the transaction cannot be rolled back.
*
+ * - Instead of `ref_transaction_commit`, use
+ * `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is known
+ * to be empty (e.g. during clone). This is likely to be much
+ * faster.
+ *
* - At any time call `ref_transaction_free()` to discard the
* transaction and free associated resources. In particular,

* The message is appended to err without first clearing err.
* err will not be '\n' terminated.
+ *
+ * Caveats
+ * -------
+ *
+ * Note that no locks are taken, and no refs are read, until
+ * `ref_transaction_commit` is called. So `ref_transaction_verify`
+ * won't report a verification failure until the commit is attempted.
