Right now no, because in a partial clone, I also want to avoid any iterations over refs since whenever refs are iterated, their targets are checked for existence (see the call to ref_resolves_to_object() in packed_ref_iterator_advance() in packed-refs.c). However after looking at the code again, I see that for_each_rawref() exists, which might do what I want (coupled with our own way of deref-fing tags in fetch-pack). I'll take another look and if this works, I'll just avoid the whole null method thing.
