It is a shame that ref_exists() does not take a struct repository. The
code in the following patches would be pleasanter if we could write
    ref_exists(r, ref)
rather than
    refs_ref_exists(get_main_ref_store(r), ref)
all the time

Maybe we should think about updating the existing callers to
ref_exists() to pass a struct repository.

The existing code is inconsistent about its repository handling - we
create the refs with update_ref() which operates on the main repository
but when checking their existence and deleting them we use a path which
depends on the repository. I've realized now the answer to my question
about using delete_ref() in my reply to the previous patch - it does not
take a repository - maybe it should along with update_ref() but that
might be more work than you want to do though.

Best Wishes

Phillip
