I am new to git, so sorry If I overlooked something.

I think there might be a race in ref_transaction_commit() when
deleting references.


/* Perform deletes now that updates are safely completed */
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
struct ref_update *update = updates[i];

if (update->lock) {
delnames[delnum++] = update->lock->ref_name;
ret |= delete_ref_loose(update->lock, update->type);
}
}

ret |= repack_without_refs(delnames, delnum);
for (i = 0; i < delnum; i++)
unlink_or_warn(git_path("logs/%s", delnames[i]));


These two blocks should be reordered so that you first delete the
actual refs first, while holding the lock and then release the lock
afterward ?
