//
//  Description:
//      The CAction is the base class for all the action classes. It is an
//      abstract class which encapsulates the concept of an action - something
//      that be committed or rolled back.
//
//      Typically, any class that derives from this class would also implement
//      other methods that allow for specifying what action would be performed
//      by the Commit() method.
//
//  IMPORTANT NOTE: 
//      An object of this class cannot be a part of a transaction at this stage
//      because many of the resources typically used by these actions (the registry,
//      the SCM database, etc.) do not do not support transactions.
//
//      However, a transaction-like behavior is required from each of these
//      actions. What is meant by transaction-like is that the commit and
//      rollback methods of objects of this class have to guarantee durability,
//      and consistency. While they need not be isolated, they should at least
//      try to be atomic (it may not always be possilbe to be atomic).
//
//      If any action cannot guarantee that it is at least consistency and
//      durability (and preferably atomicity) during its commit, then it should 
//      NOT derive from this class.
