Also

* Add a docstring

* Rename the second parameter to "old_sha1", to be consistent with the
  convention used elsewhere in the refs module

And here I wondered what the distinction between NULL and non-NULL,
but NULL_SHA1
is and digging into the code, there is none. (As you can also see in
this patch above with
    (old_sha1 && !is_null_sha1(old_sha1)) ? old_sha1 : NULL,
but when digging deeper, the !is_null_sha1(old_sha1) is an arbitrary
limitation (i.e.
ref_transaction_delete and ref_transaction_update don't differ between
those two cases.)

The distinction comes in at lock_ref_sha1_basic, where I think we may
want to get rid of
the is_null_sha1 check and depend on NULL/non-NULL as the difference
for valid and invalid
sha1's?

That said, do we want to add another sentence to the doc here saying
non-NULL and not
NULL_SHA1 are treated the same or is it clear enough?
With or without this question addressed:
