Subject: [PATCH v2 4/9] refs: do not run transaction hook for git-pack-refs

From: Jiang Xin <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2022 11:21:42 +0800

From: Jiang Xin <[email-masked]>

The git-pack-refs command will call "files_pack_refs()" to pack loose
references into the "packed-refs" file, and there are no real changes
to the repository. Therefore, by initializing a transaction with an
empty "hook_flags" field, the "reference-transaction" hook will not run.

The "prune_refs()" and "prune_ref()" functions are called from
"file_pack_refs()", and they are used to prune loose refereces which
have already been packed into "packed-refs". The transaction instance
in "prune_ref()" should also be initialized with an empty "hook_flags"
field.

The behavior of the following git commands and three testcases have been
fixed in t1416:

 * git gc
 * git pack-refs
