This has serious semantic conflicts with in-flight topics.  I think
I resolved them all correctly while merging it in 'seen', but please
double check the result after I push it out.

This comment equally applies to the "force all callers to use
get_main_ref_store() on the_repository and remove functions that
implicitly used the main ref store of the_repository" topic by
Patrick, but we really should devise a bit more smoother way to cope
with out of tree and in-flight topics.  For example, as the new
refs_update_symref() function works exactly like the existing
refs_create_symref() function, after renaming all the in-base (i.e.,
in-tree at the point this topic forks from) users to call the new
function, instead of just removing the original one, it would have
been nice to guide authors of other in-flight topics by (1) causing
build failure and at the same time (2) telling them what they need
to do to adjust to the new world order.  This patch does only (1)
but does a poor job for (2).  We may want to establish a better
convention than just outright removing and breaking others' topics.

Thanks.
