This pull request introduces support for the "refFormat" extension. On the one hand it introduces support for reading repositories that have this extension, even though we naturally only understand the
files
format right now. On the other hand this pull request moves the logic to initialize the refdb into the refdb backends so that the logic can be customized for every ref format.I've decided to pull out these changes into a separate pull request in preparation for the
reftable
format. It's already somewhat non-trivial, so I think that reviewing it separately might be easier.
