Is this commit from Oct 4 what you're referring to? https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/commit/46a527d01485102a798bf27f24622fc6274f58d9 https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/commit/46a527d014851... Ethereum is decidedly non-transactional in certain cases, like nested contract creation for instance. I don't know about this commit though.

The spec [http://gavwood.com/Paper.pdf http://gavwood.com/Paper.pdf] has been to revert on errors since day 1: > Just as with contract creation, if the execution halts in an exceptional fashion (i.e. due to an exhausted gas supply, stack underflow, invalid jump destination or invalid instruction), then no gas is refunded to the caller and the state is reverted to the point immediately prior to balance transfer (i.e. σ). The Oct 4 commit just optimizes the way that reverts are implemented in go-ethereum (use a journal rather than deep copies).
