"a" is repeated above.
that is shared across all backends. A second reason for first moving all the code to the new file and then move the backend agnostic code back to refs.c instead of the other way around is because the code that will eventually remain in this new refs-be-files.c file is so entangled that it would then be very difficult to break the split up into small independent patches/chunks.
