OK, I've switched over most of these to use an internal files backend. While doing so, I thought I needed to keep files_log_ref_write, because we need to handle refs that cross over between the lmdb backend and the files backend. But on reflection, I have realized that I'm doing cross-backend refs wrong anyway (I'm prematurely committing the files backend ones, and doing it without locks). So I think I need to rethink this a bit. Probably I can split out a files transaction using REF_NODEREF or something. Will do something about this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
