[PATCH 06/11] help: rename "default-ref-format" to "default-ref-storage"

From: Patrick Steinhardt <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-04 10:36:29
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

When printing information about how specifically Git was built and what
defaults it has we also print the default ref storage format used when
initializing new repositories. This is to prepare for Git 3.0, where the
default storage format will change from the "files" backend to the
"reftable" backend.

In preceding commits we have adapted "ref-format" parameters to be
called "ref-storage" instead to resolve some conceptual mismatches. The
build information is now the only place where we still refer to it as
"default-ref-format".

Rename the field to "default-ref-storage" instead.
