[PATCH 0/5] reftable: a couple of improvements for libgit2

Hi,

this small patch series contains a couple of improvements I required for libgit2. With those changes libgit2 is now able to run its full test suite with reftable-enabled repositories. I still need to invest a bit of work to make it memory-leak free and compile on Windows, but overall I think that support for reftables is almost ready.

Thanks!
Patrick
