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)
