Makes sense for the _update and _commit case.  (BTW, why is have_old
a separate boolean instead of a bit in flags?)

For the _begin() case, can ref_transaction_begin() ever fail?  xcalloc
die()s on allocation failure.  So I think it's fine to assume
transaction is non-null (i.e., drop the !transaction condition), or if
you want to be defensive, then label it as a bug --- e.g.:

        if (!transaction)
                die("BUG: ref_transaction_begin() returned NULL?");

Otherwise if ref_transaction_begin regresses in the future and this
case is tripped then the message would be

        fatal: refs/tags/v1.0: cannot update the ref:

which is not as obvious an indicator that the user should contact
the mailing list.

Thanks,
Jonathan
