It appears that there is more serious breakage caused by the
lock_ref change.  http-fetch in "next" fails to clone, because
the call to lock-ref-sha1 in fetch.c::pull() forgets that the
program might be creating a new ref.

Another breakage I found (not related to ref-log) is that it
appears fetch.c, even in "master" branch [*1*], has current_ref
variable and does things depending on it, but nobody seems to
set that variable, so there are a lot of dead code that looks as
if they are doing something useful, enclosed in sections like:

	if (somethingelse && current_ref) {
        	dead code
	}

I'll probably revert the ref-log series from "next" in the next
round of updates, while killing the current_ref variable from
"master".


[Footnotes]

*1* It actually is worse than that.  Commit cd541a6 introduced
this variable but nobody touches it ever in the development
history of that variable.  I wonder what the original author and
the maintainer were smoking back then...
