No, no, no. Let's fix up the refs cache once and for all and avoid
adding special case code all over the place.
* With minor changes, we can make it possible to invalidate single refs
instead of the whole the refs cache. And we can teach the refs code to
invalidate refs by itself when necessary, so that other code can become
stupider and more decoupled from the refs code.
* With other minor changes (mostly implemented), we can support a
partly-sorted refs list that decides intelligently when to resort
itself. This will give most of the performance benefit of circumventing
the refs cache API with none of the chaos.
