Hi,

this patch series contains a bunch of fixes and improvements for ref
consistency checks. It is structured as follows:

  - Patches 1 to 4 contain a couple of cleanups for the consistency
    checks done by the "files" backend.

  - Patches 5 to 7 introduce checks for root refs for the "files"
    backend.

  - Patches 9 to 14 introduce infrastructure for shared checks with the
    "files" and "reftable" backend.

  - Patches 15 to 17 move some ref consistency checks that were still
    driven by git-fsck(1) into `git refs verify`.

I reviewed the series and it already looks good, thanks for fixing some
of the broken parts and cleaning up.

Thanks for your review!

Patrick
