Allow to make multiple reflog updates to the same ref during a transaction. This means we only need to lock the reflog once, during the first update that touches the reflog, and that all further updates can just write the reflog entry since the reflog is already locked.
This allows us to write code such as: t = transaction_begin() transaction_reflog_update(t, "foo", REFLOG_TRUNCATE, NULL); loop-over-something... transaction_reflog_update(t, "foo", 0, <message>); transaction_commit(t) where we first truncate the reflog and then build the new content one line at a time. While this technically looks like O(n2) behavior it not that bad. We only do this loop for transactions that cover a single ref during reflog expire. This means that the linear search inside transaction_update_reflog() will find the match on the very first entry thus making it O(1) and not O(n) or our usecases. Thus the whole expire becomes O(n) instead of O(n2). If in the future we start doing this for many refs in one single transaction we might want to optimize this. But there is no need to complexify the code and optimize for future usecases that might never materialize at this stage.
