irmin-pack: improve control file's atomic write properties #2181

Closed metanivek closed 1 year ago

metanivek commented 1 year ago

Currently, we assume that writes are atomic because the control file is small enough to fit within a page. We could improve this by using a known mechanism for atomic updates, like writing to a temporary file and renaming it.
