Here is the final version that I am going to apply and merge to
'jch' branch.  This is an ancient regression in Git timescale, so
its fix is not all that urgent, though.

Subject: [PATCH] sha1-name: do not assume that the ref store is initialized

c931ba4e (sha1-name.c: remove the_repo from handle_one_ref(),
2019-04-16) replaced the use of for_each_ref() helper, which works
with the main ref store of the default repository instance, with
refs_for_each_ref(), which can work on any ref store instance, by
assuming that the repository instance the function is given has its
ref store already initialized.

But it is possible that nobody has initialized it, in which case,
the code ends up dereferencing a NULL pointer.
