+ * processes access the reftable stack at the same point in time:
+ *
+ * 1. A reads the reftable stack and caches its stat info.
+ *
+ * 2. B updates the stack, appending a new table to "tables.list".
+ * This will both use a new inode and result in a different file
+ * size, thus invalidating A's cache in theory.
+ *
+ * 3. B decides to auto-compact the stack and merges two tables. The
+ * file size now matches what A has cached again. Furthermore, the
+ * filesystem may decide to recycle the inode number of the file
+ * we have replaced in (2) because it is not in use anymore.
+ *
+ * 4. A reloads the reftable stack. Neither the inode number nor the
+ * file size changed. If the timestamps did not change either then
+ * we think the cached copy of our stack is up-to-date.
+ *
+ * By keeping the file descriptor open the inode number cannot be
