Yes, I will add more information to show the context. "skiplist" is
initialized using "git_fsck_config" to parse the user-specific config.
In this series, we introduce ref-specific check. "skiplist" is a general
name which may make the caller think "skiplist" is related to both the
refs and objects.

For later implementation, we may also introduce "skiplist" for refs, but
for refs, we concern about the name not the "oidset". I will add more
information to explain how this change reduces ambiguity.

Thanks,
