Please eject this series. It was only an RFC on purpose, and
the first few patches have been replaced with a new series [1]
(which I will send a new version of soon)

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1439.git.1670433958.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/

Meanwhile, Keanen Wold and I are discussing with John Cai
about capacity around ref storage mechanisms. I also haven't
had time to do the deep-dive on reftable that I promised.

Thanks,
