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...
