Hi,

the reftable format has some flexibility with regards to how exactly it
writes the respective tables:

  - The block size allows you to control how large each block is
    supposed to be. The bigger the block, the more records you can fit
    into it.

  - Restart intervals control how often a restart point is written that
    breaks prefix compression. The lower the interval, the less disk
    space savings you get.

  - Object indices can be enabled or disabled. These are optional and
    Git doesn't use them right now, so disabling them may be a sensible
    thing to do if you want to save some disk space.

  - The geometric factor controls when we compact tables during auto
    compaction.

This patch series exposes all of these via a new set of configs so that
they can be tweaked by the user as-needed. It's not expected that those
are really of much importance for the "normal" user -- the defaults
should be good enough. But for edge cases (huge repos with millions of
refs) and for hosting providers these knobs can be helpful.

This patch series applies on top of d4cc1ec35f (Start the 2.46 cycle,
2024-04-30).
