-        # Since the multiple files involved in the transaction cannot be
-        # written atomically (with current repository format), there is a race
-        # condition here.
-        #
-        # 1) changelog content A is read
-        # 2) outside transaction update changelog to content B
-        # 3) outside transaction update bookmark file referring to content B
-        # 4) bookmarks file content is read and filtered against changelog-A
-        #
-        # When this happens, bookmarks against nodes missing from A are dropped.
-        #
-        # Having this happening during read is not great, but it become worse
-        # when this happen during write because the bookmarks to the "unknown"
-        # nodes will be dropped for good. However, writes happen within locks.
-        # This locking makes it possible to have a race free consistent read.
-        # For this purpose data read from disc before locking  are
-        # "invalidated" right after the locks are taken. This invalidations are
-        # "light", the `filecache` mechanism keep the data in memory and will
-        # reuse them if the underlying files did not changed. Not parsing the
-        # same data multiple times helps performances.
-        #
-        # Unfortunately in the case describe above, the files tracked by the
-        # bookmarks file cache might not have changed, but the in-memory
-        # content is still "wrong" because we used an older changelog content
-        # to process the on-disk data. So after locking, the changelog would be
-        # refreshed but `_bookmarks` would be preserved.
-        # Adding `00changelog.i` to the list of tracked file is not
-        # enough, because at the time we build the content for `_bookmarks` in
-        # (4), the changelog file has already diverged from the content used
-        # for loading `changelog` in (1)
-        #
-        # To prevent the issue, we force the changelog to be explicitly
-        # reloaded while computing `_bookmarks`. The data race can still happen
-        # without the lock (with a narrower window), but it would no longer go
-        # undetected during the lock time refresh.
-        #
-        # The new schedule is as follow
-        #
-        # 1) filecache logic detect that `_bookmarks` needs to be computed
-        # 2) cachestat for `bookmarks` and `changelog` are captured (for book)
-        # 3) We force `changelog` filecache to be tested
-        # 4) cachestat for `changelog` are captured (for changelog)
-        # 5) `_bookmarks` is computed and cached
-        #
-        # The step in (3) ensure we have a changelog at least as recent as the
-        # cache stat computed in (1). As a result at locking time:
-        #  * if the changelog did not changed since (1) -> we can reuse the data
-        #  * otherwise -> the bookmarks get refreshed.
