Subject: [PATCH] refs: lock symref that is to be deleted, not its target

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:22:15 +0200

When delete_ref is called on a symref then it locks its target and then
either deletes the target or the symref, depending on whether the flag
REF_NODEREF was set in the parameter delopt.

Instead, simply pass the flag to lock_ref_sha1_basic, which will then
either lock the target or the symref, and delete the locked ref.

This reimplements part of eca35a25 (Fix git branch -m for symrefs.).
