The update does two things: upload objects to the database, and then
update the reference. Adding objects to the database does not change the
repository until the objects are reachable from a ref. Updating the ref
is usually done giving the expected old sha1, and locks the ref, so it
can't change in the meantime.

I don't know this part of the code very well, but check refs.c for the C
part, and "git update-ref" for the plumbing interface.
