Several of the refs functions take NULL to indicate that the ref is not
to be updated. If refs_update_ref were called with a NULL new object
ID, we could pass that NULL pointer to write_pseudoref, which would then
segfault when it dereferenced it. Instead, simply return successfully,
since if we don't want to update the pseudoref, there's nothing to do.
