This commit reverts half the lines of 5bdd8d4a3062a (2008-11, do not
force write of packed refs). And reading both commit messages, they
seem to contradict each other. (Both agree on  "If a reference is
missing, its SHA-1 will be null_sha1 as provided by resolve_ref", but
the conclusion seems to be different.)

On the other hand, there is more than 6 years difference, so I guess
the meaning and implications of some variables and functions may have
slightly changed.
