This is useful:
- to force a rollback on the exit of an atomic block without having to
raise and catch an exception;
- to prevent a rollback after handling an exception manually.
A decorator is easier to apply to CBVs. Backwards compatibility isn't an
issue here, except for people running on a recent clone of master.
Fixed a few minor problems in the transactions docs while I was there.
Thanks Anssi for haggling until I implemented this.
This change alleviates the need for atomic_if_autocommit. When
autocommit is disabled for a database, atomic will simply create and
release savepoints, and not commit anything. This honors the contract of
not doing any transaction management.
This change also makes the hack to allow using atomic within the legacy
transaction management redundant.
None of the above will work with SQLite, because of a flaw in the design
of the sqlite3 library. This is a known limitation that cannot be lifted
without unacceptable side effects eg. triggering arbitrary commits.
Since "unless managed" now means "if database-level autocommit",
committing or rolling back doesn't have any effect.
Restored transactional integrity in a few places that relied on
automatically-started transactions with a transitory API.
enter_transaction_management() was nearly always followed by managed().
In three places it wasn't, but they will all be refactored eventually.
The "forced" keyword argument avoids introducing behavior changes until
then.
This is mostly backwards-compatible, except, of course, for managed
itself. There's a minor difference in _enter_transaction_management:
the top self.transaction_state now contains the new 'managed' state
rather than the previous one. Django doesn't access
self.transaction_state in _enter_transaction_management.
This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.
Big thanks also go to:

Ensure to read the documentation before blindly enabling this: requires some
code audits first, but might well be worth it for busy sites.
Thanks to nicferrier, iamseb and Richard Davies for help with this patch.

code. As pointed out in the ticket, Python still lets you raise all sorts of
odd things as exceptions (e.g. strings), so even though they're bad form, we
should still handle them. We do that cleanly now. Thanks to jim-django@dsdd.org
for the patch.

Fixed#7402.
Also made savepoint handling easier to use when wrapped around calls that might
commit a transaction. This is tested by the get_or_create tests.

This is a no-op for most databases. Only necessary on PostgreSQL so that we can
do things which will possibly intentionally raise an IntegrityError and not
have to rollback the entire transaction. Not supported for PostgreSQL versions
prior to 8.0, so should be used sparingly in internal Django code.
