Same comment as the delete_ref_loose patch: the reader can gain some piece of mind from an assertion at the top that makes sure filename is valid (which it always should be, according to the API):

	assert(lk->filename[0]);

It would also be nice to use the same xmemdupz-based code as in the delete_ref_loose case (ideally via a helper), to avoid having to work with a PATH_MAX-sized buffer.

Otherwise looks good.

Thanks, Jonathan
