+ * A ref_transaction represents a collection of reference updates that

*
* Calling sequence
* ----------------
+ *
* - Allocate and initialize a `struct ref_transaction` by calling
* `ref_transaction_begin()`.
*
- * - List intended ref updates by calling functions like
- * `ref_transaction_update()` and `ref_transaction_create()`.
- *
- * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction.
- * 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,
- * this rolls back the transaction if it has not been
- * successfully committed.
+ * - Specify the intended ref updates by calling one or more of the
+ * following functions:
+ * - `ref_transaction_update()`
+ * - `ref_transaction_create()`
+ * - `ref_transaction_delete()`
+ * - `ref_transaction_verify()`
+ *
+ * - Then either:
+ *
+ * - Optionally call `ref_transaction_prepare()` to prepare the
+ * transaction. This locks all references, checks preconditions,
+ * etc. but doesn't finalize anything. If this step fails, the
+ * transaction has been closed and can only be freed. If this step
+ * succeeds, then `ref_transaction_commit()` is almost certain to
+ * succeed. However, you can still call `ref_transaction_abort()`
+ * if you decide not to commit the transaction after all.
+ *
+ * - Call `ref_transaction_commit()` to execute the transaction,
+ * make the changes permanent, and release all locks. If you
+ * haven't already called `ref_transaction_prepare()`, then
+ * `ref_transaction_commit()` calls it for you.
+ *
+ * Or
+ *
+ * - Call `initial_ref_transaction_commit()` if the ref database is
+ * known to be empty and have no other writers (e.g. during
+ * clone). This is likely to be much faster than
+ * `ref_transaction_commit()`. `ref_transaction_prepare()` should
+ * *not* be called before `initial_ref_transaction_commit()`.
+ *
+ * - Then finally, call `ref_transaction_free()` to free the
+ * `ref_transaction` data structure.
+ *
+ * At any time before calling `ref_transaction_commit()`, you can call
+ * `ref_transaction_abort()` to abort the transaction, rollback any
+ * locks, and free any associated resources (including the
+ * `ref_transaction` data structure).
+ *
+ * Putting it all together, a complete reference update looks like
+ *
+ * struct ref_transaction *transaction;
+ * struct strbuf err = STRBUF_INIT;
+ * int ret = 0;
+ *
+ * transaction = ref_store_transaction_begin(refs, &err);
+ * if (!transaction ||
+ * ref_transaction_update(...) ||
+ * ref_transaction_create(...) ||
+ * ...etc... ||
+ * ref_transaction_commit(transaction, &err)) {
+ * error("%s", err.buf);
+ * ret = -1;
+ * }
+ * ref_transaction_free(transaction);
+ * strbuf_release(&err);
+ * return ret;
*
* Error handling
* --------------
* -------
*
* 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.
+ * `ref_transaction_prepare()` or `ref_transaction_commit()` is
+ * called. So, for example, `ref_transaction_verify()` won't report a
+ * verification failure until the commit is attempted.
