* jc/checkout-switch-restore (2026-01-29) 2 commits
- checkout: tell "parse_remote_branch" which command is calling it
- checkout: pass program-readable token to unified "main"
"git switch <name>", in an attempt to create a local branch <name>
after a remote tracking branch of the same name gave an advise
message to disambiguate using "git checkout", which has been
updated to use "git switch".

* jt/odb-transaction-per-source (2026-01-28) 4 commits
- odb: transparently handle common transaction behavior
- odb: prepare `struct odb_transaction` to support more sources
- object-file: rename transaction functions
- odb: store ODB source in `struct odb_transaction`
Transaction to create objects (or not) is currently tied to the
repository, but in the future a repository can have multiple object
sources, which may have different transaction mechanisms. Make the
odb transaction API per object source.

A handful of places used refs_for_each_ref_in() API incorrectly,
which has been corrected.

(merged to 'next' on 2026-01-21 at ebcf21d088)
+ ci: skip CVS and P4 tests in leaks job, too
+ ci(*-leaks): skip the git-svn tests to save time
Dscho observed that SVN tests are taking too much time in CI leak
checking tasks, but most time is spent not in our code but in libsvn
code (which happen to be written in Perl), whose leaks have little
value to discover for us. Skip SVN, P4, and CVS tests in the leak
checking tasks.
