[PATCH v2 35/38] refs: add methods to init refs db

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Sep 4, 2016, 16:08 UTC
Message-ID
<2bf161a94fa06317c95c5336ec384c7a7d262741.1473003903.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1473003902.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
From: David Turner <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.
