[PATCH v2 0/5] Introduce configs for default repo format

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Hi,

this is the second version of my patch series that introduces two new
config settings `init.defaultRefFormat` and `init.defaultObjectFormat`
to make the default formats configurable without environment variables.

Changes compared to v1:

  - Extend commit message to mention that we also move
    `repo_set_ref_storage_format()` and `repo_set_hash_algo()` into
    `repository_format_configure()`.

  - Extend commit message to explain precedence.

  - Fix a grammar issue.

  - Fix a copy/paste error in the documentation of
    `init.defaultRefFormat`.

Thanks!

Patrick

    +    The precedence order now is the following, where the first one wins:

    +      1. The `--object-format=` switch.
