The change Ic0b974fa (c217d33, "Documentation/technical/reftable:
improve repo layout") defines a new repository layout, which was
agreed with the git-core mailing list.
It addresses the following problems:
* old git clients will not recognize reftable-based repositories, and
look at encompassing directories.
* Poorly written tools might write directly into
.git/refs/heads/BRANCH.
Since we consider JGit reftable as experimental (git-core doesn't
support it yet), we have no backward compatibility. If you created a
repository with reftable between mid-Nov 2019 and now, you can do the
following to convert:
mv .git/refs .git/reftable/tables.list
git config core.repositoryformatversion 1
git config extensions.refStorage reftable
