t7900: clean up some broken refs
The tests for the 'prefetch' task create remotes and fetch refs into 'refs/prefetch/<remote>/' and tags into 'refs/tags/'. These tests use the remotes to create objects not intended to be seen by the "local" repository. In that sense, the incrmental-repack tasks did not have these objects and refs in mind. That test replaces the object directory with a specific pack-file layout for testing the batch-size logic. However, this causes some operations to start showing warnings such as: error: refs/prefetch/remote1/one does not point to a valid object! error: refs/tags/one does not point to a valid object! This only shows up if you run the tests verbosely and watch the output. It caught my eye and I _thought_ that there was a bug where 'git gc' or 'git repack' wouldn't check 'refs/prefetch/' before pruning objects. That is incorrect. Those commands do handle 'refs/prefetch/' correctly. All that is left is to clean up the tests in t7900-maintenance.sh to remove these tags and refs that are not being repacked for the incremental-repack tests. Use update-ref to ensure this works with all ref backends.
