AFAIK, the 'dumb protocol' isn't really a protocol, but is simply exposing the file system over HTTP.
I suppose we could expose the reftable files over HTTP, but that means we have to rewrite the client to understand reftable files if they are served. However, I get the impression that nobody really uses the dumb protocol anymore, so is it worth trying to make this work for reftable?
