Correct, but it's also in seen.

The reftable code for refs_read_raw_ref places a sensible value into
its failure_errno argument. Then the "if (errno)" replaces it with
whatever the outcome of the last syscall was. I started the errno work
to get rid of this kind of global state manipulation; am I missing
something?
