Re: [PATCH v5 0/5] for-each-ref: introduce seeking functionality via '--start-after'

This series allows the seek function to set the cursor without setting
the prefix, which is a requirement for pagination. So there is no need
to set 'prefix_state' for this functionality. Which is why I didn't set
it, since the default value of '0' (PREFIX_CONTAINS_DIR) would be the
correct setting for all dirs. This causes the issue.

So the only fix required would be

diff --git a/refs/ref-cache.c b/refs/ref-cache.c
index 1d95b56d40..ceef3a2008 100644
