Awesome!

Would you mind, however, to relicense the code under a license compatible with GPLv2? Currently your code is under the Apache License (which I heard somewhere is probably incompatible with the GPLv2 used by the Git project): https://github.com/google/reftable/blob/6cd8dbb4106d18627f442d3148de71d7db43d4b6/c/api.h#L1-L13

Thanks, Dscho
