gix-ref v0.44.0

New Features

• add file::Store::force_refresh_packed_buffer() to public API
  That way it's possible to explicitly refresh if the caller knows that some other
  operation might have invalidated the in-memory cache. The mtime based approach
  doesn't work reliably on all filesystems due to coarse granularity of time.

Bug Fixes

• don't ignore packed ref deletion in non-default transaction mode
  Before, Change::Delete edits weren't propagated to packed refs if the mode was
  DeletionsAndNonSymbolicUpdates/RemoveLooseSourceReference.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• assure that special device names on Windows aren't allowed.
  Otherwise it's possible to read or write to devices when interacting
  with references of the 'right' name.

  This behaviour can be controlled with the new prohibit_windows_device_names flag,
  which is adjustable on the Store instance as field, and which now has to be
  passed during instantiation as part of the new store::init::Options struct.
