As I said elsewhere, I am not sure if we want to even let
third-party tools direct access at the filesystem level to
$GIT_DIR/.  We do want to say things like where the ref namespace
that are taken as "per worktree" are located, so that a third-party
tool wants to carve out a hierarchy out of the per-worktree part of
the ref namespace, that may indirectly influence where on the
filesystem under $GIT_DIR/ their stuff is stored, but how we decide
to store refs inside $GIT_DIR/ should still be blackbox to these
third-party tools (e.g. we may not be using loose or packed refs,
but using a chain of reftable files).  

So from that point of view, we shouldn't have to touch the
repository layout document, I would think.
