As part of 2f28db44d5 (Merge branch 'ps/ref-storage-format', 2026-10-01)
we have adapt all sites that used to say "reference format" to instead
say "reference storage format".

One missed spot though was in git-repo(1), where we still print the
"references.format" key. Fix that oversight by renaming the key to
"references.storageFormat".

The patch looks good, but this does break backward compatibility. But
since the command it marked as experimental, this should be okay.

Right, I should've probably mentioned this as part of the commit
message. We could for a while carry both keys of course. But given that
it's marked as experimental I think it's okay to break the format and
drop the old key.

Thanks!
