[PATCH 2/4] pack-objects: do not get distracted by stale refs

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Message-ID: <a3a883ce9d7a8bf4220beb640caca5bed0f7d492.1443085919.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1443085919.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

It is quite possible for, say, a remote HEAD to become stale, e.g. when the default branch was renamed.

We should still be able to pack our objects when such a thing happens; simply ignore invalid refs (because they cannot matter for the packing process anyway).
