Don't assume that any commit we have is complete; assume that any ref
we have is complete.

Have you tested this idea with cloning into an empty repository?
It seems to break my tests.

Sorry, I spoke too fast.  This is not _broken_ per se, but is
just slow.

I tried to clone http://kernel.org/pub/scm/git.git/; bulk of the
objects are packed there but the new code is _too_ cautious,
since it did not have any refs to begin with, it ended up
walking the commits in the already downloaded packs to the root.
