This allows for efficient reading of many references and their targets,
without incurring the overhead of lookup_reference() (which stats for
a loose ref and then reads packed-refs) which can be expensive on NFS
with thousands of refs.
We've been using this patch for a while and I think it makes sense for upstream pygit2. Any feedback on the idea?
