Looks good. It's probably not worth adding a release_ref_list() to
handle the repeated data structures.

I do find it hard to believe that the bundle code had to invent its own
ref storage data structure, and couldn't just use "struct ref" like all
of the other code. It doesn't look like we ever sort it or do
non-sequential access. The linked-list "struct ref" probably would have
been fine.

Not a problem you are introducing, of course, but if you are touching
this code a lot, it might be worth seeing how painful it is.
