[PATCH v2 00/11] Implement transactions for the packed ref store

This is v2 of a patch series to implement reference transactions for the packed refs-store. Thanks to Stefan, Brandon, Junio, and Peff for your review of v1 [1]. I believe I have addressed all of your comments.

Changes since v1:

* Patch [01/11]: justify the change better in the log message. Add a
  comment explaining why `get_packed_ref_cache()` is being called but
  the return value discarded.

* Patch [05/11]: Lock the `packed-refs` file *after* successfully
  creating the (empty) transaction object. This prevents leaving the
  file locked if `ref_store_transaction_begin()` fails.

* Patch [06/11]: New patch, fixing a leak of the `refs_to_prune`
  linked list.

* Patch [07/11]: Reimplement test "no bogus intermediate values during
  delete" to work without polling. Also incorporate Junio's change
  `s/grep/test_i18ngrep/`.

These changes are also available as branch `packed-ref-transactions` from my GitHub repo [2].
