In-Reply-To: <pull.1052.v3.git.git.1627923216.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com>

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).
