 The "reftable" backend for the refs API.

 Ejected for now, as it has been breaking the tip of 'seen' for too
 long.

Can you provide more information here? The PR at
https://github.com/git/git/pull/847 passes all tests (except for the
VSBuild, with errors that seem unrelated.)

Sorry, but it has been a long time that I have no more detail than
the above handy.  Older CI history might know more, but I have no
time to dig that right now (and I'd be just as efficient as you
would for doing such things).

I can try including it in one of the today's pushout of 'seen' and
see what breaks, which would be the easiest ;-)

Thanks for pinging.
