SYNOPSIS
========
This product provides a way to have consistent backups when running a
multi-storage instance (only ZEO is supported at the moment).

Here, T2 was able to commit entirely, but it must not be saved. This is
because transactions are stored in ZODB in the order they are committed.
So is T2 is in the backup, a part of T1 will also be, and backup will be
inconsistent (T1 commit on B never happened).
inconsistent (T1 commit on B never happened).
USAGE
=====
Put product in Zope Products to activate Zope-side patches.
Create configuration, example is provided in repozo/sample_configuration.py
Run bin/tidstorage.py with created configuration. As Zope commits transations
it will connect to TIDStorage server, which will be shown in Zope and TIDStorage
server logs.
PYTHONPATH issues

Example:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/erp5/lib/python:/usr/lib/erp5/lib/python/Products/TIDStorage

=================
TIDStorage fixes those issues by keeping track of transaction-to-tid relations
for all (ZODB, via ZEO) storages involved in any transaction, and by tracking
