Yay. :)
a refactoring, which replaces a char** array by a stringlist
in the function repack_without_refs.
This is easier to read and maintain as it delivers the same
functionality with less lines of code and less pointers.
Please wrap to a consistent width and add a blank line between
paragraphs.  So, either:

	... repack_without_refs.  This is easier to read and ...

or:

	... repack_without_refs.

	This is easier to read and ...

warn_dangling_symref requires a sorted list.  Possible fixes:

 (a) switch to string_list_insert, or
 (b) [nicer] call sort_string_list before the warn_dangling_symrefs
     call.

This comment was helpful --- it's sad to lose it (but if you feel
strongly about it then I don't mind).

I kind of liked the 'i == n' test that avoided needing a new auxiliary
variable.  This is fine and probably a little clearer, though.

(nit) Other comments in this file use the imperative mood to describe
what a function does, so it would be a little clearer to do that here,
too ("Repack the ..." instead of "Repacks the ...").

It might be just me, but I find this formatted comment with everything
jammed together hard to read.  I'd prefer a simple paragraph, like:

	/*
	 * Remove the refs listed in 'without' from the packed-refs file.
	 * On error, packed-refs will be unchanged, the return value is
	 * nonzero, and a message about the error is written to the 'err'
	 * strbuf.
	 */
