receive-pack.c: use a reference transaction for updating the refs

Wrap all the ref updates inside a transaction. In the new API there is no distinction between failure to lock and failure to write a ref. Both can be permanent (e.g., a ref "refs/heads/topic" is blocking creation of the lock file "refs/heads/topic/1.lock") or transient (e.g., file system full) and there's no clear difference in how the client should respond, so replace the two statuses "failed to lock" and "failed to write" with a single status "failed to update ref". In both cases a more detailed message is sent by sideband to diagnose the problem. Example, before: error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic' remote: error: failed to lock refs/heads/topic To foo ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to lock) After: error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic' remote: error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/topic'. To foo ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to update ref) Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com> Reviewed-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
