A limited number of tests require repositories to have the default
repository format or otherwise they would fail to run, e.g. because they
fail to detect the correct hash function. While the hash function is the
only extension right now that creates problems like this, we are about
to add a second extensions for the ref format.
Introduce a new DEFAULT_REPO_FORMAT prereq that can easily be amended
whenever we add new format extensions. Next to making any such changes
easier on us, the prerequisite's name should also help to clarify the
intent better.

My only concern is whether we'll end up blindly adding
DEFAULT_REPO_FORMAT for tests where only SHA1 is a prereq or only where
the new format extension is a prereq.

When calling `git init --separate-git-dir=<new-path>` on a preexisting
repository, then we move the Git directory of that repository to the new
path specified by the user. If there are worktrees present in the Git
repository, we need to repair the worktrees so that their gitlinks point
to the new location of the repository.
This repair logic will load repositories via `get_worktrees()`, which
will enumerate up and initialize all worktrees. Part of initialization
is logic that we resolve their respective worktree HEADs, even though
that information may not actually be needed in the end by all callers.
In the context of git-init(1) this is about to become a problem, because
we do not have a repository that was set up via `setup_git_directory()`
or friends. Consequentially, it is not yet fully initialized at the time
of calling `repair_worktrees()`, and properly setting up all parts of
the repository in `init_db()` before we repair worktrees is not an easy
thing to do. While this is okay right now where we only have a single
reference backend in Git, once we gain a second one we would be trying
to look up the worktree HEADs before we have figured out the reference
format, which does not work.
We do not require the worktree HEADs at all to repair worktrees. So
let's fix issue this by skipping over the step that reads them.

In order to look up ref storage backends, we're currently using a linked
list of backends, where each backend is expected to set up its `next`
pointer to the next ref storage backend. This is kind of a weird setup
as backends need to be aware of other backends without much of a reason.
Refactor the code so that the array of backends is centrally defined in
"refs.c", where each backend is now identified by an integer constant.
Expose functions to translate from those integer constants to the name
and vice versa, which will be required by subsequent patches.

This doesn't really get us more information, since be == NULL, calling
`ref_storage_format_to_name` will again call `find_ref_storage_backend`,

The only purpose of this function will be to print error messages, so
"unknown" seems like the better choice.

In order to discern which ref storage format a repository is supposed to
use we need to start setting up and/or discovering the format. This
needs to happen in two separate code paths.
- The first path is when we create a repository via `init_db()`. When
we are re-initializing a preexisting repository we need to retain
the previously used ref storage format -- if the user asked for a
different format then this indicates an erorr and we error out.
Otherwise we either initialize the repository with the format asked
for by the user or the default format, which currently is the
"files" backend.
- The second path is when discovering repositories, where we need to
read the config of that repository. There is not yet any way to
configure something other than the "files" backend, so we can just
blindly set the ref storage format to this backend.
Wire up this logic so that we have the ref storage format always readily
available when needed. As there is only a single backend and because it
is not configurable we cannot yet verify that this tracking works as
expected via tests, but tests will be added in subsequent commits. To
countermand this ommission now though, raise a BUG() in case the ref
storage format is not set up properly in `ref_store_init()`.

There is a topic in-flight that introduces the .compat_hash_algo
member to the repo_fmt structure. Seeing a conflict resolution like
the attached (there are many others that are similar in spirit), I
have to wonder if we want to add repo_set_ref_storage_format()
helper function. There are many assignments to .ref_storage_format
member after this series is applied.
Note that I haven't read the series in full, so take the above with
a grain of salt---it might turn out to be that direct assignment is
more desirable, I dunno.
Thanks.

Wrapping this in a `repo_set_ref_storage_format()` doesn't add much for
now, but on the other hand it also doesn't hurt and is more in line with
how we set the other formats. This could also be useful in the future to
have a central place for additional sanity checks, if required. So yeah,
let's do it.
Makes me wonder whether we should then also add the following diff to
"setup: set repository's format on init" when both topics are being
merged together:

Shouldn't that come from the series that wants .compat_hash_algo in
the repo_fmt structure, whichever it is, not added by an evil merge?

Well, the above code is newly added by my series to ensure that
`init_db()` results in a properly initialized repo upon return. So the
compat hash algo series cannot yet call `repo_set_compat_hash_algo()`
because the code site doesn't exist, whereas my series cannot yet add
the call because there is no compat hash algo yet.
So depending on which series lands first we'll either have to adapt the
respective other series or do an evil merge.

No, it's a leftover from a previous iteration. Will drop.

The proper hash algorithm and ref storage format that will be used for a
newly initialized repository will be figured out in `init_db()` via
`validate_hash_algorithm()` and `validate_ref_storage_format()`. Until
now though, we never set up the hash algorithm or ref storage format of
`the_repository` accordingly.
There are only two callsites of `init_db()`, one in git-init(1) and one
in git-clone(1). The former function doesn't care for the formats to be
set up properly because it never access the repository after calling the
function in the first place.
For git-clone(1) it's a different story though, as we call `init_db()`
before listing remote refs. While we do indeed have the wrong hash
function in `the_repository` when `init_db()` sets up a non-default
object format for the repository, it never mattered because we adjust
the hash after learning about the remote's hash function via the listed
refs.
So the current state is correct for the hash algo, but it's not for the
ref storage format because git-clone(1) wouldn't know to set it up
properly. But instead of adjusting only the `ref_storage_format`, set
both the hash algo and the ref storage format so that `the_repository`
is in the correct state when `init_db()` exits. This is fine as we will
adjust the hash later on anyway and makes it easier to reason about the
end state of `the_repository`.

Introduce a new "extensions.refStorage" extension that allows us to
specify the ref storage format used by a repository. For now, the only
supported format is the "files" format, but this list will likely soon
be extended to also support the upcoming "reftable" format.
There have been discussions on the Git mailing list in the past around
how exactly this extension should look like. One alternative [1] that
was discussed was whether it would make sense to model the extension in
such a way that backends are arbitrarily stackable. This would allow for
a combined value of e.g. "loose,packed-refs" or "loose,reftable", which
indicates that new refs would be written via "loose" files backend and
compressed into "packed-refs" or "reftable" backends, respectively.
It is arguable though whether this flexibility and the complexity that
it brings with it is really required for now. It is not foreseeable that
there will be a proliferation of backends in the near-term future, and
the current set of existing formats and formats which are on the horizon
can easily be configured with the much simpler proposal where we have a
single value, only.
Furthermore, if we ever see that we indeed want to gain the ability to
arbitrarily stack the ref formats, then we can adapt the current
extension rather easily. Given that Git clients will refuse any unknown
value for the "extensions.refStorage" extension they would also know to
ignore a stacked "loose,packed-refs" in the future.
So let's stick with the easy proposal for the time being and wire up the
extension.

Introduce a new GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT environment variable that lets
users control the default ref format used by both git-init(1) and
git-clone(1). This is modeled after GIT_DEFAULT_OBJECT_FORMAT, which
does the same thing for the repository's object format.

Introduce a new GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT environment variable that
lets developers run the test suite with a different default ref format
without impacting the ref format used by non-test Git invocations. This
is modeled after GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_OBJECT_FORMAT, which does the same
thing for the repository's object format.
Adapt the setup of the `REFFILES` test prerequisite to be conditionally
set based on the default ref format.

In t9500 we're writing a custom configuration that sets up gitweb. This
requires us manually ensure that the repository format is configured as
required, including both the repository format version and extensions.
With the introduction of the "extensions.refStorage" extension we need
to update the test to also write this new one.

Thanks. Hopefully we can merge it down after a quick, small, and

Hi,
this is the second version of my patch series that introduces the new
`refStorage` extension. This extension will be used for the upcoming
reftable backend.
Changes compared to v2:
- Fixed various typos in commit messages.
- Fixed redundant information when the refstorage extension's value
isn't understood.
- Introduced `repo_set_ref_storage_format()`.
Thanks for the feedback so far!

A limited number of tests require repositories to have the default
repository format or otherwise they would fail to run, e.g. because they
fail to detect the correct hash function. While the hash function is the
only extension right now that creates problems like this, we are about
to add a second extension for the ref format.
Introduce a new DEFAULT_REPO_FORMAT prereq that can easily be amended
whenever we add new format extensions. Next to making any such changes
easier on us, the prerequisite's name should also help to clarify the
intent better.

When calling `git init --separate-git-dir=<new-path>` on a preexisting
repository, we move the Git directory of that repository to the new path
specified by the user. If there are worktrees present in the repository,
we need to repair the worktrees so that their gitlinks point to the new
location of the repository.
This repair logic will load repositories via `get_worktrees()`, which
will enumerate up and initialize all worktrees. Part of initialization
is logic that we resolve their respective worktree HEADs, even though
that information may not actually be needed in the end by all callers.
In the context of git-init(1) this is about to become a problem, because
we do not have a repository that was set up via `setup_git_directory()`
or friends. Consequentially, it is not yet fully initialized at the time
of calling `repair_worktrees()`, and properly setting up all parts of
the repository in `init_db()` before we repair worktrees is not an easy
thing to do. While this is okay right now where we only have a single
reference backend in Git, once we gain a second one we would be trying
to look up the worktree HEADs before we have figured out the reference
format, which does not work.
We do not require the worktree HEADs at all to repair worktrees. So
let's fix this issue by skipping over the step that reads them.

s/Consequentially/Consequently/
I found it difficult to digest this paragraph with its foreshadowing
phrase "about to become a problem" since it wasn't apparent until the
very final sentence in the paragraph what the actual problem would be.
Perhaps if you mention early on that the reftable backend will have
trouble with the current code, it would be easier to grasp. Maybe
something like this:
Although not a problem presently with the file-based reference
backend, it will become a problem with the upcoming reftable
backend. In the context of git-init(1) a fully-materialized
repository set up via `setup_git_directory()` or friends is not
yet present. Consequently, it is not yet fully initialized at the
time `repair_worktrees()` is called, and properly setting up all
parts of the repository in `init_db()` before we repair worktrees
is not an easy task. With introduction of the reftable backend,
it would try to look up the worktree HEADs before we have figured
out the reference format, thus would not work.

This is so special-case that it feels more than a little dirty.

In an ideal world, a repair function should not be calling
get_worktrees() at all since get_worktrees() is not tolerant of
corruption of the worktree administrative files. (Plus, as you note,
it does more work than necessary for the current set of repairs
performed by `git worktree repair`.)
Even as I was implementing the worktree repair code, I wavered back
and forth multiple times between calling get_worktrees() and writing a
custom corruption-tolerant function to retrieve worktree
administrative information. In the end, I opted for get_worktrees()
for the pragmatic reason that it allowed me to narrow the scope of the
patches to the types of repairs which were the current focus without
getting mired down in the involved details of writing a
corruption-tolerant function for retrieving worktree metadata.
However, that decision was made with the understanding that the
pragmatic choice of the moment would not rule out the possibility of
returning later and implementing the more correct approach of having a
corruption-tolerant function for retrieving worktree metadata.
The special-case ugliness of this patch suggests strongly in favor of
implementing the earlier-envisioned corruption-tolerant function for
retrieving worktree metadata rather than the band-aid approach taken
by this patch. The generic name get_worktrees_internal() isn't helpful
either; it doesn't do a good job of conveying any particular meaning
to the reader.
Having said all that, I'm not overly opposed to this patch, especially
since your main focus is on getting the reftable backend integrated,
and because the changes (and ugliness) introduced by this patch are
entirely self-contained and private to worktree.c, so are not a
show-stopper by any means. Rather, I wanted to get down to writing
what I think would be a better future approach if someone gets around
to tackling it. (There is no pressing need at the moment, and that
someone doesn't have to be you.)

I forgot to mention that, if you reroll for some reason, the
get_worktrees()/get_worktrees_internal() dance might deserve an
in-source NEEDSWORK comment explaining that get_worktrees_internal()
exists to work around the shortcoming that a corruption-tolerant
function for retrieving worktree metadata (for use by the "repair"
function) does not yet exist.

In order to look up ref storage backends, we're currently using a linked
list of backends, where each backend is expected to set up its `next`
pointer to the next ref storage backend. This is kind of a weird setup
as backends need to be aware of other backends without much of a reason.
Refactor the code so that the array of backends is centrally defined in
"refs.c", where each backend is now identified by an integer constant.
Expose functions to translate from those integer constants to the name
and vice versa, which will be required by subsequent patches.

A small question. Does this have to be "int", or is "unsigned" (or
even an enum, rewrittenfrom the "REF_STORAGE_FORMAT_*" family of CPP
macro constants) good enough? I am only wondering what happens when
you clal find_ref_storage_backend() with a negative index.
For that matter, how REF_STORAGE_FORMAT_UNKNOWN (whose value is 0)
is handled by the function also gets curious. The caller may have
to find that the backend hasn't been specified by receiving an
element in the refs_backends[] array that corresponds to it, but the
error behaviour of this function is also to return NULL, so it has
to be prepared to handle both cases?

No, it does not have to be an `int`, and handling a negative index would
be a bug. I tried to stick to what we have with `GIT_HASH_UNKNOWN`,
`GIT_HASH_SHA1` etc, which is exactly similar in spirit. Whether it's
the perfect way to handle this... probably not. Without the context I
would've used an `enum`, but instead I opted for consistency.

Yeah, we do not really discern those two cases for now and instead just
return `NULL` both for any unknown ref storage format. All callers know
to handle `NULL`, but the error handling will only report a generic
"unknown" backend error.
The easiest way to discern those cases would be to `BUG()` when being
passed an invalid ref storage format smaller than 0 or larger than the
number of known backends. Because ultimately it is just that, a bug that
shouldn't ever occur.
Not sure whether this is worth a reroll?

By using an unsigned type, you no longer have to worry about getting
handed a negative index, as the "must be smaller than ARRAY_SIZE()"
check will be sufficient to catch anybody who passes "-1" (casted to
unsigned by parameter passing). So I would say that would be a good
enough reason to reroll, whether we differentiate 0 and an index
that is larger than refs_backends[] (or a negative one) with an
explicit BUG(), or just leave it to the caller by returning NULL.
As to the error handling, I suspect it is sufficient to return NULL
and let the caller handle it.
Thanks.

In order to discern which ref storage format a repository is supposed to
use we need to start setting up and/or discovering the format. This
needs to happen in two separate code paths.
- The first path is when we create a repository via `init_db()`. When
we are re-initializing a preexisting repository we need to retain
the previously used ref storage format -- if the user asked for a
different format then this indicates an error and we error out.
Otherwise we either initialize the repository with the format asked
for by the user or the default format, which currently is the
"files" backend.
- The second path is when discovering repositories, where we need to
read the config of that repository. There is not yet any way to
configure something other than the "files" backend, so we can just
blindly set the ref storage format to this backend.
Wire up this logic so that we have the ref storage format always readily
available when needed. As there is only a single backend and because it
is not configurable we cannot yet verify that this tracking works as
expected via tests, but tests will be added in subsequent commits. To
countermand this ommission now though, raise a BUG() in case the ref
storage format is not set up properly in `ref_store_init()`.

The proper hash algorithm and ref storage format that will be used for a
newly initialized repository will be figured out in `init_db()` via
`validate_hash_algorithm()` and `validate_ref_storage_format()`. Until
now though, we never set up the hash algorithm or ref storage format of
`the_repository` accordingly.
There are only two callsites of `init_db()`, one in git-init(1) and one
in git-clone(1). The former function doesn't care for the formats to be
set up properly because it never access the repository after calling the
function in the first place.
For git-clone(1) it's a different story though, as we call `init_db()`
before listing remote refs. While we do indeed have the wrong hash
function in `the_repository` when `init_db()` sets up a non-default
object format for the repository, it never mattered because we adjust
the hash after learning about the remote's hash function via the listed
refs.
So the current state is correct for the hash algo, but it's not for the
ref storage format because git-clone(1) wouldn't know to set it up
properly. But instead of adjusting only the `ref_storage_format`, set
both the hash algo and the ref storage format so that `the_repository`
is in the correct state when `init_db()` exits. This is fine as we will
adjust the hash later on anyway and makes it easier to reason about the
end state of `the_repository`.

Introduce a new "extensions.refStorage" extension that allows us to
specify the ref storage format used by a repository. For now, the only
supported format is the "files" format, but this list will likely soon
be extended to also support the upcoming "reftable" format.
There have been discussions on the Git mailing list in the past around
how exactly this extension should look like. One alternative [1] that
was discussed was whether it would make sense to model the extension in
such a way that backends are arbitrarily stackable. This would allow for
a combined value of e.g. "loose,packed-refs" or "loose,reftable", which
indicates that new refs would be written via "loose" files backend and
compressed into "packed-refs" or "reftable" backends, respectively.
It is arguable though whether this flexibility and the complexity that
it brings with it is really required for now. It is not foreseeable that
there will be a proliferation of backends in the near-term future, and
the current set of existing formats and formats which are on the horizon
can easily be configured with the much simpler proposal where we have a
single value, only.
Furthermore, if we ever see that we indeed want to gain the ability to
arbitrarily stack the ref formats, then we can adapt the current
extension rather easily. Given that Git clients will refuse any unknown
value for the "extensions.refStorage" extension they would also know to
ignore a stacked "loose,packed-refs" in the future.
So let's stick with the easy proposal for the time being and wire up the
extension.

Introduce a new GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT environment variable that lets
users control the default ref format used by both git-init(1) and
git-clone(1). This is modeled after GIT_DEFAULT_OBJECT_FORMAT, which
does the same thing for the repository's object format.

Introduce a new GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT environment variable that
lets developers run the test suite with a different default ref format
without impacting the ref format used by non-test Git invocations. This
is modeled after GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_OBJECT_FORMAT, which does the same
thing for the repository's object format.
Adapt the setup of the `REFFILES` test prerequisite to be conditionally
set based on the default ref format.

In t9500 we're writing a custom configuration that sets up gitweb. This
requires us to manually ensure that the repository format is configured
as required, including both the repository format version and
extensions. With the introduction of the "extensions.refStorage"
extension we need to update the test to also write this new one.

Hi,
this is the third version of my patch series that introduces the new
`refStorage` extension. This extension will be used for the upcoming
reftable backend.
Changes compared to v3:
- The `ref_storage_format` is now tracked as an `unsigned int`,
proposed by Junio.
- Reworded the commit message in patch 2, proposed by Eric.
- Added a NEEDSWORK comment to `get_worktrees_internal()`, propose by
Eric.
Thanks for your reviews!
Patrick

@@ Commit message
is logic that we resolve their respective worktree HEADs, even though
that information may not actually be needed in the end by all callers.
- In the context of git-init(1) this is about to become a problem, because
- we do not have a repository that was set up via `setup_git_directory()`
- or friends. Consequentially, it is not yet fully initialized at the time
- of calling `repair_worktrees()`, and properly setting up all parts of
- the repository in `init_db()` before we repair worktrees is not an easy
- thing to do. While this is okay right now where we only have a single
- reference backend in Git, once we gain a second one we would be trying
- to look up the worktree HEADs before we have figured out the reference
- format, which does not work.

A limited number of tests require repositories to have the default
repository format or otherwise they would fail to run, e.g. because they
fail to detect the correct hash function. While the hash function is the
only extension right now that creates problems like this, we are about
to add a second extension for the ref format.
Introduce a new DEFAULT_REPO_FORMAT prereq that can easily be amended
whenever we add new format extensions. Next to making any such changes
easier on us, the prerequisite's name should also help to clarify the
intent better.

When calling `git init --separate-git-dir=<new-path>` on a preexisting
repository, we move the Git directory of that repository to the new path
specified by the user. If there are worktrees present in the repository,
we need to repair the worktrees so that their gitlinks point to the new
location of the repository.
This repair logic will load repositories via `get_worktrees()`, which
will enumerate up and initialize all worktrees. Part of initialization
is logic that we resolve their respective worktree HEADs, even though
that information may not actually be needed in the end by all callers.
Although not a problem presently with the file-based reference backend,
it will become a problem with the upcoming reftable backend. In the
context of git-init(1) we do not have a fully-initialized repository set
up via `setup_git_directory()` or friends. Consequently, we do not know
about the repository format when `repair_worktrees()` is called, and
properly setting up all parts of the repositroy in `init_db()` before we
try to repair worktrees is not an easy task. With the introduction of
the reftable backend, we would ultimately try to look up the worktree
HEADs before we have figured out the reference format, which does not
work.
We do not require the worktree HEADs at all to repair worktrees. So
let's fix this issue by skipping over the step that reads them.

In order to look up ref storage backends, we're currently using a linked
list of backends, where each backend is expected to set up its `next`
pointer to the next ref storage backend. This is kind of a weird setup
as backends need to be aware of other backends without much of a reason.
Refactor the code so that the array of backends is centrally defined in
"refs.c", where each backend is now identified by an integer constant.
Expose functions to translate from those integer constants to the name
and vice versa, which will be required by subsequent patches.

In order to discern which ref storage format a repository is supposed to
use we need to start setting up and/or discovering the format. This
needs to happen in two separate code paths.
- The first path is when we create a repository via `init_db()`. When
we are re-initializing a preexisting repository we need to retain
the previously used ref storage format -- if the user asked for a
different format then this indicates an error and we error out.
Otherwise we either initialize the repository with the format asked
for by the user or the default format, which currently is the
"files" backend.
- The second path is when discovering repositories, where we need to
read the config of that repository. There is not yet any way to
configure something other than the "files" backend, so we can just
blindly set the ref storage format to this backend.
Wire up this logic so that we have the ref storage format always readily
available when needed. As there is only a single backend and because it
is not configurable we cannot yet verify that this tracking works as
expected via tests, but tests will be added in subsequent commits. To
countermand this ommission now though, raise a BUG() in case the ref
storage format is not set up properly in `ref_store_init()`.

The proper hash algorithm and ref storage format that will be used for a
newly initialized repository will be figured out in `init_db()` via
`validate_hash_algorithm()` and `validate_ref_storage_format()`. Until
now though, we never set up the hash algorithm or ref storage format of
`the_repository` accordingly.
There are only two callsites of `init_db()`, one in git-init(1) and one
in git-clone(1). The former function doesn't care for the formats to be
set up properly because it never access the repository after calling the
function in the first place.
For git-clone(1) it's a different story though, as we call `init_db()`
before listing remote refs. While we do indeed have the wrong hash
function in `the_repository` when `init_db()` sets up a non-default
object format for the repository, it never mattered because we adjust
the hash after learning about the remote's hash function via the listed
refs.
So the current state is correct for the hash algo, but it's not for the
ref storage format because git-clone(1) wouldn't know to set it up
properly. But instead of adjusting only the `ref_storage_format`, set
both the hash algo and the ref storage format so that `the_repository`
is in the correct state when `init_db()` exits. This is fine as we will
adjust the hash later on anyway and makes it easier to reason about the
end state of `the_repository`.

Introduce a new "extensions.refStorage" extension that allows us to
specify the ref storage format used by a repository. For now, the only
supported format is the "files" format, but this list will likely soon
be extended to also support the upcoming "reftable" format.
There have been discussions on the Git mailing list in the past around
how exactly this extension should look like. One alternative [1] that
was discussed was whether it would make sense to model the extension in
such a way that backends are arbitrarily stackable. This would allow for
a combined value of e.g. "loose,packed-refs" or "loose,reftable", which
indicates that new refs would be written via "loose" files backend and
compressed into "packed-refs" or "reftable" backends, respectively.
It is arguable though whether this flexibility and the complexity that
it brings with it is really required for now. It is not foreseeable that
there will be a proliferation of backends in the near-term future, and
the current set of existing formats and formats which are on the horizon
can easily be configured with the much simpler proposal where we have a
single value, only.
Furthermore, if we ever see that we indeed want to gain the ability to
arbitrarily stack the ref formats, then we can adapt the current
extension rather easily. Given that Git clients will refuse any unknown
value for the "extensions.refStorage" extension they would also know to
ignore a stacked "loose,packed-refs" in the future.
So let's stick with the easy proposal for the time being and wire up the
extension.

Introduce a new GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT environment variable that lets
users control the default ref format used by both git-init(1) and
git-clone(1). This is modeled after GIT_DEFAULT_OBJECT_FORMAT, which
does the same thing for the repository's object format.

Introduce a new GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT environment variable that
lets developers run the test suite with a different default ref format
without impacting the ref format used by non-test Git invocations. This
is modeled after GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_OBJECT_FORMAT, which does the same
thing for the repository's object format.
Adapt the setup of the `REFFILES` test prerequisite to be conditionally
set based on the default ref format.

In t9500 we're writing a custom configuration that sets up gitweb. This
requires us to manually ensure that the repository format is configured
as required, including both the repository format version and
extensions. With the introduction of the "extensions.refStorage"
extension we need to update the test to also write this new one.
