I'd personally avoid reindenting this block. It's somewhat-common
practice to not align all arguments with the opening brace when the line
would become too long. The reindents also distract a bit from the actual
changes done in other places further down.

Can't we simplify this via `xstrdup()`?

Makes sense. While we already had REF_LOG_ONLY beforehand, it was only
used in very specific cases and thus the support implemented by the
backends is lacking. And given that the packed-ref backend does not
support reflogs we have to queue these up via the loose backend.
