[PATCH v2 00/10] reftable: fix reload with active iterators

Hi,

this is the second version of my patch series that fixes issues in the
reftable libary caused by having concurrent readers and writers.

Changes compared to v1:

  - Remove a spurious change that renamed `init_reader()` to
    `reader_init()`. That function went away in the subsequent commit
    anyway.

  - Fix a typo in a commit message.

  - Fix some assertions in one of the added tests.

Thanks!

Patrick
