Subject: [PATCH v4 09/11] odb/transaction: introduce ODB transaction flags
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:37:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710163722.2962278-10-jltobler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710163722.2962278-1-jltobler@gmail.com>
The temporary directory used by git-receive-pack(1) to write objects is
managed slightly differently than how it is done via ODB transactions:
- The temporary directory is eagerly created upfront, instead of
waiting for the first object write.
- The prefix name of the temporary directory is "incoming" instead of
"bulk-fsync".
In a subsequent commit, git-receive-pack(1) will use ODB transactions
instead of `tmp_objdir` directly. To provide a means to configure the
same transaction behavior, introduce `enum odb_transaction_flags` and
the ODB_TRANSACTION_RECEIVE flag intended as a signal for ODB
transactions using the "files" backend to be set up for
git-receive-pack(1). Transaction call sites are updated accordingly to
provide the required flag parameter.
