Awesome. Thanks for reviewing. I'll try to go over your comments this week.
I intentionally didn't review my own earlier feedback on v1 to look at
this with fresh eyes, I'd forgetten what points I raised, aside from the
general "let's not skip tests but test the new behavior" mantra I think
I either mentioned there or in related discussions.

"test new behavior" is troublesome, because it requires merging the
reftable support first, which in itself is a tough job, and predicated
on getting reviews for that code. This is why I split this series off,
because it can be merged early without impacting coverage of the
existing loose/packed backend.

How about I document more clearly, for each test marked REFFILES, what
is going on, and what should be done for coverage with reftable? We
can go over it as part of the reftable series. "REFFILES" will be an
easy term to grep for.
