Currently there is another Big Thing getting started in in the refs backend. https://public-inbox.org/git/CAJo=hJtg0PAVHT1phbArdra8+4LfnEEuaj3fBid==bxkzgh...@mail.gmail.com/ Maybe it is worth looking into that as well? Reftables solve the problem of scaling (i.e. a repo containing a million refs works just fine, and fast(!) for reading/writing refs, which is not the case for packed refs)
