7 * Note that this backend doesn't check for D/F conflicts, because it
8 * doesn't care about them. But usually it should be wrapped in a
9 * `files_ref_store` that prevents D/F conflicts from being created,
10 * even among packed refs.

17 * Lock the packed-refs file for writing. Flags is passed to
18 * hold_lock_file_for_update(). Return 0 on success. On errors, write
19 * an error message to `err` and return a nonzero value.

28 * the specified packed_ref_store, or false if it can be skipped
29 * (i.e., because it is an obvious NOOP). `ref_store` must be locked
30 * before calling this function.
