I can see that the top-most one is about .git that is a textual
symlink ".gitdir: <elsewhere>" and the code after this part needed
to convert it to the real place in order to be able to read/write
"${GIT_DIR}/<some file>", so that is obvious to me.

But the other one just says "handle missing ref_id case correctly"
without clarifying what is incorrect in the original and how the
desired correct behaviour is different (in other words, what breaks
without this change)

To which a natural reaction was "Can the existing breakage
demonstrated by a test?".

If it is obvious for git-svn folks, then I wouldn't complain,
though.
