[PATCH v2 06/27] update_refs(): Fix constness

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Since full const correctness is beyond the ability of C's type system, just put the const where it doesn't do any harm. A (struct ref_update **) can be passed to a (struct ref_update * const *) argument, but not to a (const struct ref_update **) argument.
