I spent the last few weeks cobbling together an implementation of the
reftable format in C and in Go. I thought this would be cool to add to
git-core, but I doubt whether I will have enough time to see such an
effort through. Maybe some of you would want to try integrating it
into the Git-core code base?  Example code is here:

  https://github.com/google/reftable/blob/master/c/api.h#L153

Interesting!

Very exciting, and thanks for your work on this. I haven't taken a
close look at the code yet, so I'm sure taking this further involves a
much more careful examination.

I know that Christian Couder (who you CC-d on this thread) was also
working on this for either GitLab or Booking.com.

Christian -- are you still working on this for either one of those
entities? If so, is there some way to unify these two efforts?

Yeah, I started working on this last year for Booking.com, and I am
now slowly working on it for GitLab. It is not yet finished because it
has been low priority work.

I took a very quick look at Han-Wen's implementation and it looks very
different from mine from the outside. It seems more complete, but
might be less integrated into the Git code base.

Best,
Christian.
