[PATCH v2 03/12] refs: wrap the packed refs cache in a level of indirection

[Michael Haggerty <mhagger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As we know, we can solve any problem in this manner.  In this case,
the problem is to avoid freeing a packed refs cache while somebody is
using it.  So add a level of indirection as a prelude to
reference-counting the packed refs cache.
