[server/session] add missing rollback when freeing a db connection When we let go of a cnxset and give it back to the pool, we need to make sure it's not in the middle of a transaction. We got bitten by a migration where the connection used by admin's repo.connect was not rolled back before attempting the migration, causing a deadlock because it had a lock on a table. This could potentially also be an issue for e.g. hooks or looping tasks that didn't explicitly rollback before calling free_cnxset or moving out of a ensure_cnx_set block.

About this site
===============

This web application is based on the CubicWeb knowledge management system
from Logilab_. CubicWeb is made of an object database and a web
framework. It allows to develop an application by defining a set of
entities and their relationships, plus a set of views that present the
data selected from the object database using a specific query language.

This application has a precise schema_ and can be considered an
example of a semantic web database, as it can export the data to XML
and others formats and is not limited to publishing HTML.
