From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@xxxxxxxxxx> The previous code tested this by writing $ZERO_OID explicitly in the packed-refs file. This is a type of corruption that doesn't reflect realistic use-cases. In addition, even the ref-store test-tool refuses to write invalid OIDs. (update-ref interprets $ZERO_OID is deleting the ref).
