Subject: [PATCH v4 02/13] bulk-checkin: rebrand plug/unplug APIs as 'odb transactions'

From: "Neeraj Singh via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 00:42:19 +0000

From: Neeraj Singh <[email-masked]>

Make it clearer in the naming and documentation of the plug_bulk_checkin
and unplug_bulk_checkin APIs that they can be thought of as
a "transaction" to optimize operations on the object database. These
transactions may be nested so that subsystems like the cache-tree
writing code can optimize their operations without caring whether the
top-level code has a transaction active.
