Re: [PATCH 21/33] repack_without_ref(): write peeled refs in the rewritten file

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>

Michael Haggerty [off-list ref] writes:
When a reference that existed in the packed-refs file is deleted, the
packed-refs file must be rewritten.  Previously, the file was
rewritten without any peeled refs, even if the file contained peeled
refs when it was read.  This was not a bug, because the packed-refs
file header didn't claim that the file contained peeled values.  But
it had a performance cost, because the repository would lose the
benefit of having precomputed peeled references until pack-refs was
run again.
Good.
Teach repack_without_ref() to write peeled refs to the packed-refs
file (regardless of whether they were present in the old version of
the file).
