By itself this looks correct (as do the patches leading up to it). But I think some of the "big picture" is lost. Why do we want it to look like a ref store? I suspect the answer is too big to go into this individual commit message. But I went back and re-read the cover letter, and I don't think it's really explained there, either. So I'm not really sure where it ought to be covered (or if I simply missed it somewhere, or if it's coming up; I'm reading the patches linearly). -Peff
