The implementation on this doesn't seem overly complex. My main concerns are what we're asking from the filesystem in terms of atomicity, and what possible races there are.
One of the failure modes is that on Windows a file cannot be deleted while it is open in any process. It can happen that a compacting updater wants to remove a reftable file that is still open in a reader.
