New Features
- MidxPackList: Methods to find the top midx and uncovered packs
- DfsObjDatabase: read reftables from midx covered packs
- DfsGarbageCollector: handle pack lists with multipack indexes
- DfsObjDatabase: introduce multipack index
- DfsPackFileMidx: support a chain of multi-pack indexes

Performance Improvements
- Do not always refresh packed-refs during ref updates. Improves latency and throughput of concurrent pushes.
- Avoid reading packed-refs concurrently if the packed-refs file has not changed since a thread has started reading and parsing it
- InterruptTimer: avoid expensive notify when begin is soon after end, improves performance of ls-remote
- InterruptTimer: avoid unneeded notify for end()
Bug Fixes
- #jgit-217 [ignore patterns] Backslash is a general escape. The backslash is used generally as an escape, not only for a few special cases. An unescaped backslash at the end of a pattern can never match.
