[PATCH v6 13/32] refs: add methods to init refs db

From
David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com>
Date
Feb 24, 2016, 22:58 UTC
Message-ID

<1456354744-8022-1-git-send-email-dturner@twopensource.com>

Alternate refs backends might not need the refs/heads directory and so on, so we make ref db initialization part of the backend.
