Re: [PATCH 04/10] packed_delete_refs(): implement method

> Implement `packed_delete_refs()` using a reference transaction. This
> means that `files_delete_refs()` can use `refs_delete_refs()` instead
> of `repack_without_refs()` to delete any packed references, decreasing
> the coupling between the classes.
