From 8dfe077fb68eb952464ce59deaa4dfdd52891457 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Meet Soni Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 13:56:39 +0530 Subject: refs: add a generic 'optimize' API The existing `pack-refs` API is conceptually tied to the 'files' backend, but its behavior is generic (e.g., it triggers compaction for reftable). This naming is confusing. Introduce a new generic refs_optimize() API that dispatches to a backend-specific implementation via a new 'optimize' vtable method. This lays the architectural groundwork for different reference backends (like 'files' and 'reftable') to provide their own storage optimization logic, which will be called from a single, generic entry point.
