- * This routine is called when a user of a log manager ticket is done with
- * the reservation.  If the ticket was ever used, then a commit record for
- * the associated transaction is written out as a log operation header with
- * no data.  The flag XLOG_TIC_INITED is set when the first write occurs with
- * a given ticket.  If the ticket was one with a permanent reservation, then
- * a few operations are done differently.  Permanent reservation tickets by
- * default don't release the reservation.  They just commit the current
- * transaction with the belief that the reservation is still needed.  A flag
- * must be passed in before permanent reservations are actually released.
- * When these type of tickets are not released, they need to be set into
- * the inited state again.  By doing this, a start record will be written
- * out when the next write occurs.
+ * Write a commit record to the log to close off a running log write.
