objects::
Object store associated with this repository. Usually
. You can be using `objects/info/alternates` mechanism, or
`$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES` mechanism to 'borrow'
objects from other object stores. A repository with this kind

use with dumb transports but otherwise is OK as long as
`objects/info/alternates` points at the right object stores
it borrows from.

info::
