[PATCH v5 1/8] setup: correctly reinitialize repository version

From
Caleb White <cdwhite3@pm.me>
Date
Nov 26, 2024, 01:51 UTC
Message-ID
<20241125-wt_relative_options-v5-1-356d122ff3db@pm.me>
In-Reply-To
<20241125-wt_relative_options-v5-0-356d122ff3db@pm.me>

When reinitializing a repository, Git does not account for extensions other than `objectformat` and `refstorage` when determining the repository version. This can lead to a repository being downgraded to version 0 if extensions are set, causing Git future operations to fail.

This patch teaches Git to check if other extensions are defined in the config to ensure that the repository version is set correctly.
