Oh, I never questioned that you made that basic case work.  I
was worried about not making sure the symlink we are looking at
really is the case we are willing to handle, and not erroring
out if that is not the case, perhaps like the attached patch on
top of yours.

An additional test or two in t/t3210 would be nice to accompany
this change.

Something like this?

That's a good start, but I expected to see at least tests for
two cases: a case in which .git/packed-refs symlink points at an
actual file (i.e. the original repository has run pack-refs) and
another case in which .git/packed-refs symlink is dangling
(i.e. the original repository hasn't run pack-refs).  I
understand that the borrower "worktree" can have .git/packed-refs
symlink pointing at the repositories .git/packed-refs yet to be
born.
