We can use lock_any_ref_for_update instead. Besides being more flexible, the only difference between the two is that lock_ref_sha1 does not allow "top-level" refs like "refs/foo" to be updated. However, we know that we do not have such a ref, because we explicitly add the "tags/" prefix ourselves. Note that we now must feed the whole name "refs/tags/X" instead of just "tags/X" to the function. As a result, our failure error message is uses the longer name. This is probably a good thing, though. As an interesting side note, if we forgot to switch this input to the function, the tests do not currently catch it. We import a tag "X" and then check that we can access it at "tags/X". If we accidentally created "tags/X" at the top-level $GIT_DIR instead of under "refs/", we would still find it due to our ref lookup procedure! We do not make such a mistake in this patch, of course, but while we're thinking about it, let's make the fast-import tests more robust by checking for fully qualified refnames.
