Add support for negative refs

Linus Torvalds · Junio C Hamano · commit b37a562a1097 · 2006-09-17T19:09:11.000-07:00
You can remove a ref that is packed two different ways: either simply
repack all the refs without that one, or create a loose ref that has the
magic all-zero SHA1.

This also adds back the test that a ref actually has the object it
points to.
