[PATCH v2 00/11] reftable: expose write options as config

Hi,

this is the second version of my patch series that exposes various options of the reftable writer via Git configuration.

Changes compared to v1:

  - Drop unneeded return statements.

  - Move default geometric factor into "constants.h".

  - Fix a typo in a commit message.

Thanks!

Patrick
