Yeah, I agree that's questionable. And I'm mildly surprised it hasn't
been a problem before now.

Hmm. We care to _some_ degree, since that's the condition we set up for
making sure that update-ref cannot take the lock. But it would probably
be fine to just confirm that we failed to take the lock. And there,
checking for just "Unable to create $Q.*packed-refs.lock" would be
sufficient.
