Fun.

Previously fetch respected GIT_REFLOG_ACTION, and this is dropping
that support.  Intended?

Should pass a strbuf in to get a message back.

error() appends a newline on its own, so the message shouldn't
end with newline.

More importantly, this message isn't helpful without more detail about
why _transaction_begin() failed.  The user doesn't know what

	error: cannot start ref transaction

means.

	error: cannot connect to mysqld for ref storage: [etc]

would tell what they need to know.  That is:

	transaction = ref_transaction_begin(err);
	if (!transaction) {
		rc = error("%s", err.buf);
		goto abort;
	}

errno is not used here, so no need to set errno = 0.

(I cheated and stole the newer code from your repo.)

Yay!  Style nit: git avoids assignments in "if" conditionals.

	ret = ref_tr...
	if (ret == -2)
		rc |= ...
	else if (ret)
		rc |= ...

Does _update need the too as futureproofing for backends that can
detect the name conflict sooner?

Thanks,
Jonathan
