Currently, this always prints yes because required is non-null.

This is the wrong behavior. The boolean must be
dereferenced.

The line is blamed to f6c5ca38 (refs: add a `optimize_required`
field to `struct ref_storage_be`, 2025-11-08); the author CC'ed for
an Ack.

Thanks.

My responses are a bit slow due to being on holiday.

The patch looks good to me, the fix makes sense. Thanks both!
