AL.Branch.head()

Forking

AL persists to a local, gitignored Mnesia store (.mnesiastore/ by default) that every iex/mix run/mix test invocation in a checkout shares unless told otherwise. Forks let multiple streams of work happen on the same node without conflict.

fork = AL.Branch.fork()

AL.Branch.checkout(fork)

AL.Branch.discard(fork)

Durability

ACID transactions
