Re: [PATCH 2/2] Fix failure to delete a packed ref through a symref

> When deleting a ref through a symref (e.g. using 'git update-ref -d HEAD'
> to delete refs/heads/master), we would remove the loose ref, but a packed
> version of the same ref would remain, the end result being that instead of
> deleting refs/heads/master we would appear to reset it to its state as of
> the last repack.
>
> This patch fixes the issue, by making sure we pass the correct ref name
> when invoking repack_without_ref() from within delete_ref().
