Very nice. Is there something we can also do in order to keep reftable from using stale version of these helpers that it copied with this series when we make improvements on our side to the original? I think the answer might be "then use a common library implementation that is used by both Git and reftable", but then we might be in the same place as before? I dunno. What do "libification" folks think? Anybody?
