It turns out that it *does* pull the refs, but they don't appear to show up inside the "refs" folder.. is there a reason for this?

ie:
ls .git/refs/changes
shows nothing,but
git ls-remote file:///path/to/repo

does show them? Any particular reason for why this is? I am confused why refs aren't showing up inside the refs folder...
