Typo on "and and".

We should have a bit more justification for this change, the subject
sounds aggressive, but there's no rationle for 175 insertions.
You and I both can make a reaosnable guess about why, but not
everyone knows the code or what you are trying to accomplish.

New public code should have Javadoc to document its purpose and
usage, especially for an abstract class that needs to be implemented.

But, that said, I think this direction is of dubious value.  What we
really care about is having the contents of the current RefDatabase
(that is, packed-refs and files under refs/) written into info/refs.

There really isn't anything else of value under GIT_DIR/info, other
than GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but that is related to ignore processing
for a repository with a working directory and isn't something that
a bare repository on a server ever cares about.

IMHO, updating GIT_DIR/info/refs should be part of RefDatabase,
not some new InfoDirectoryDatabase class.
