Probably too late now, anyway.. with David's multiple ref backend
work, we could have a third, no-dependency backend. We can use index
format to store refs. Then we can avoid case-sensitivity issue with
filesystems.
I'd actually vote for a ref backend that is based on a tree object ;-)

For reasonably small sets of refs I think index beats trees (remember
we have cache-tree, which basically gives us the tree behind the
scene), but when you have so many refs, hierarchical storage may be
more efficient. Either way it's nice to see a builtin, no dependency
backend besides "files".
