get_stale_heads() records the current value of each stale local ref in its new_oid member. The pruning paths discard that value and request unconditional deletion, so reference-transaction hooks receive a null old OID.
Carry the recorded values into the deletion transactions. Besides giving the hooks useful values, this stops a stale scan from deleting a ref that another process updated before the transaction acquired its locks. A concurrent change now makes the prune fail and preserves the new value.
This reuses data collected while finding stale refs and therefore requires no additional ref reads. Do not print deletion status when a non-atomic prune fails its old-OID check.
