refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() effectively has seven wrappers already:
resolve_ref_unsafe()
refs_resolve_refdup()
resolve_refdup()
refs_read_ref_full()
read_ref_full()
read_ref()
ref_exists()
The last one already supplies a dummy SHA1 buffer; for a handful of
the others we could add and use variants that do the same. I feel
that this API would become a bit crowded, though.
