Subject: [PATCH v2 09/11] odb/transaction: introduce ODB transaction flags
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2026 23:14:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708041412.1157499-10-jltobler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708041412.1157499-1-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.
