Summary

  • Add support for git repositories using the reftable format (available in Git 2.45+)
  • Detect reftable repos by checking for reftable/ directory
  • Use async git commands to get branch name since reftable doesn't use traditional HEAD file
  • Watch reftable/tables.list for branch changes instead of HEAD

Fixes #1472
