refs_be_lmdb is not yet defined at this point in the patch series. It
doesn't break anything, because USE_LIBLMDB doesn't leak through the
makefile yet, but I still think it would make more sense to have the
ifdef in 19/20.

More importantly, there is no check whether setting the ref storage
backend succeeds. If a user accidentally sets an invalid value for
the ref backend, a broken repository will be created without even
warning the user.
While the repository will still work fine at this point in the series,
git will die with an invalid ref backend in the config after 19/20.
It can be fixed by setting extensions.refStorage to files in the
config, because the backend is initialized to the default files
backend below when the ref backend cannot be set.
I think it would be best to die() here, if setting the ref backend
doesn't succeed, and clean up the files that were already written,
instead of leaving the user with a broken repository.

I noticed the above mainly because of this test, which doesn't seem to
test what it claims to test. It only seems to test that git init
succeeds, and writes something to out2 and err2, it's missing the
checks that the contents are actually what they're supposed to be.
