Assigning the result of git_path is a bad pattern, because it's not immediately obvious how long you expect the content to stay valid (and it may be overwritten by subsequent calls). Let's use a function-local strbuf here instead, which we know is safe (we just have to remember to free it in all code paths). As a bonus, we get rid of a confusing variable-reuse ("ref_file" is used for two distinct purposes).
