Before committing ref updates, split symbolic ref updates into two
parts: an update to the underlying ref, and a log-only update to the
symbolic ref. This ensures that both references are locked correctly
while their reflogs are updated.
It is still possible to confuse git by concurrent updates, since the
splitting of symbolic refs does not happen under lock. So a symbolic ref
could be replaced by a plain ref in the middle of this operation, which
would lead to reflog discontinuities and missed old-ref checks.
