Subject: Make 'cvs ci' lockless in git-cvsserver by using git-update-ref
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.1-rc1~125
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ada5ef3b48be7ded62af1f9b7fdb71db3024ac71;p=git.git

Make 'cvs ci' lockless in git-cvsserver by using git-update-ref

This makes "ci" codepath lockless by following the usual
"remember the tip, do your thing, then compare and swap at the
end" update pattern using update-ref.  Incidentally, by updating
the code that reads where the tip of the head is to use
show-ref, it makes it safe to use in a repository whose refs are
pack-pruned.

I noticed that other parts of the program are not yet pack-refs
safe, but tried to keep the changes to the minimum.
