Commit Message

Han-Wen Nienhuys Sept. 28, 2021, 3:10 p.m. UTC
From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com>

This supports reading a single reftable file.

The commit introduces an abstract iterator type, which captures the usecases
both of reading individual refs, and iterating over a segment of the ref
namespace.
