I don't quite mind either way. I think overall we have enough tests that
can be converted even if both projects got picked up separately. And the
reftable unit tests are a bit more involved than the other tests given
that their coding style doesn't fit at all into the Git project. So it's
not like they can just be copied over, they definitely need some special
care.

Also, the technical complexity of the "reftable" backend is rather high,
which is another hurdle to take.

Which overall makes me lean more towards keeping this as a separate
project now that I think about it.

Makes sense.  I suppose we need to capture the distinction more
clearly in the ideas page.

I've tweaked the doc for the same. Do check it out and feel free to
suggest any corrections.

Yeah, the clarification looks good to me. Thanks!
