Improve abstraction of ref lock/write.
Created 'struct ref_lock' to contain the data necessary to perform a ref update. This change improves writing a ref as the file names are generated only once (rather than twice) and supports following symrefs (up to the maximum depth). Further the ref_lock structure provides room to extend the update API with ref logging. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
