[PATCH] refs: pass NULL to refs_read_ref_full() because object ID is not needed

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>

<a762958e-324b-f9a5-96e4-fab0b4b91df8@web.de>

refs_read_ref_full() wraps refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), which handles a NULL oid pointer of callers not interested in the resolved object ID. Pass NULL from files_copy_or_rename_ref() to clarify that it is one such caller.
