Log message for revision 26003:
Checkpointing progress made with Jim so far today.
New interface IResourceManager intends to combine the
best aspects of IDataManager and IDataManagerOriginal,
and will become "the" interface.
New interface ISavePoint captures (along with models in
collaborations.txt) what should be a clean design for a
savepoint/rollback facility that actually works.

+
+       This class provides a trivial resource-manager implementation and doc
+       strings to illustrate the protocol and to provide a tool for writing
+       tests.
+
+       Our sample resource manager has state that is updated through an inc
+       method and through transaction operations.
+
+       When we create a sample resource manager:
+
+       >>> rm = ResourceManager()
+
+       It has two pieces state, state and delta, both initialized to 0:
+
+       >>> rm.state
+       0
+       >>> rm.delta
+       0
+
+       state is meant to model committed state, while delta represents
+       tentative changes within a transaction.  We change the state by
+       calling inc:
+
+       >>> rm.inc()
+
+       which updates delta:
+
+       >>> rm.delta
+       1
+
+       but state isn't changed until we commit the transaction:
+
+       >>> rm.state
+       0
+
+       To commit the changes, we use 2-phase commit.  We execute the first
+       stage by calling prepare.  We need to pass a transation. Our
+       sample resource managers don't really use the transactions for much,
+       so we'll be lazy and use strings for transactions.  The sample
+       resource manager updates the state when we call tpc_vote:
+
+
+       >>> t1 = '1'
+       >>> rm.tpc_begin(t1)
+       >>> rm.state, rm.delta
+       (0, 1)
+
+       >>> rm.tpc_vote(t1)
+       >>> rm.state, rm.delta
+       (1, 1)
+
+       Now if we call tpc_finish:
+
+       >>> rm.tpc_finish(t1)
+
+       Our changes are "permanent".  The state reflects the changes and the
+       delta has been reset to 0.
