Subject: [PATCH v4 0/8] Multiple simultaneously locked ref updates

From: Brad King <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 11:22:37 -0400

Hi Folks,

Here is the fourth revision of a series to support locking multiple
refs at the same time to update all of them consistently.  The
previous revisions of the series can be found at $gmane/233260,
$gmane/233458, and $gmane/233647.

Updates since the previous revision of the series:

* Patches 1-4 are identical

* Patches 5-7 no longer have ":" at the end of comments, a style I
  "learned" from the context of patch 5 but that I saw Junio squash
  out of patch 5 v2 when he queued it as 53237ae4.

* Patch 7 has a re-organized parser and now defines a -z format for
  stdin that terminates arguments with NUL and lines with LF NUL:

   ... <ref> NUL <newvalue> NUL [ <oldvalue> NUL ] LF NUL

* Patch 8 now has test cases for -z mode and updated error cases for
  the re-organized parser.

Note to maintainer:

* Patch 4 needs to be re-queued to replace c7c80f49 due to the
  tweak suggested in $gmane/233521 and made in v3 and kept in v4.

Thanks,
-Brad
