[PATCH v7 03/11] verify_refname_available(): new function

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

Message-ID
<23d05cbc247e5ef9036cb6f20184810745ac540f.1447085798.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1447085798.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
From: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>

Add a new verify_refname_available() function, which checks whether the refname is available for use, taking all references (both packed and loose) into account. This function, unlike the old verify_refname_available(), has semantics independent of the choice of reference storage, and can therefore be implemented by alternative reference backends.

Use the new function in a couple of places.
