[Zope-Checkins] CVS: Zope/lib/python/ZODB - POSException.py:1.14

[Toby Dickenson]

Update of /cvs-repository/Zope/lib/python/ZODB
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv13500

Modified Files:
	POSException.py 
Log Message:
added DanglingReferenceError. A new exception for storages to report the fact that a transaction is storing a reference to an object that does not exist. Doing this is 'a bad thing', although it is not entirely clear that it is prohibited. So far only DirectoryStorage makes this check. This is given its own exception class because some code may be able to catch it, and regenerate the object that the storage thinks does not exist.
