It is the cache that is being invalidated, not the references.

Although I think one can say "ref cache is the container for cached refs"
and invalidating the "ref cache" as the container and invalidating the
"cached refs" as a collection mean essentially the same thing, probably
the new name makes more sense.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that the old name was incorrect.  I
just think that the new name removes a tiny bit of ambiguity.
