That is my current understanding.

As the refs code can also take a path into a submodule and construct
a submodule ref store for the caller, we'd want to resolve the tension
between the ref store and the repository struct who is responsible for
the submodule ref store eventually by removing the submodule
functionality from the ref store and only relying on the ref stores created by
the repository struct.
