[GSoC] Discuss: Implement support for reftables in ‘dumb’ HTTP transport

Hello everyone.

I hope you are doing well. I am brainstorming on the problem statement "Implement support for reftables in ‘dumb’ HTTP transport" where I encountered some doubts which I wanted to discuss with you.

Problem statement link: https://git.github.io/SoC-2024-Ideas/ (Last one)

1. Do we just need support to know about the default branch or the
entire reftable?

2. As far as I am able to understand, I just need to add support for
these reftable files to transfer through the backend incase of dumb
http protocol, is this correct or am I missing something? In simple
words what I understand is I just need to add support for the server
side nothing is to be done for the client side.

I am sorry if these sound absolutely basic but I'm genuinely eager to learn and implement them.

Thank you.
