Good point.

or what would happen if the packfile
fetch failed (we'd already have deleted the old refs, but wouldn't fetch
the new ones).

Off topic, but this sounds like a bug to me. We could have kept ref
update more consistent (maybe at some point we could even do atomic
transaction update for all refs if there's a need for it).
