Hi David,

No, you are not having flashbacks - you forgot to make the register_ref_storage_backend() function static. ;-)

BTW, I still have two symbols showing as exported but not used, namely:
    $ diff nsc psc1
    ...
    32a35,36
    > refs.o	- resolve_ref_unsafe_submodule
    > refs/files-backend.o	- do_for_each_per_worktree_ref
    $ 

Both of these symbols are used by the lmdb backend, so I'm assuming that they are part of the 'refs API' and will (may?) be used by other alternate reference backends. Is that the case?

(I don't have the time right now to look at the code!)
Thanks!

ATB, Ramsay Jones
