.B \fB\-\-transient\fP

The stored transaction can be performed by the replay command \%<#\:replay-command-ref-label>, \fBdnf5\-replay(8)\fP\&.
Note that repository ids in the stored transaction are mangled to \fB@stored_transaction(repo_id)\fP this is required
because during replaying the stored repositories are recreated and they might collide with already present repositories
(this doesn\(aqt apply to the special @System repository).
