create_symref(): do not assume pathname from git_path() persists long enough
Being lazy to rely on the cycling N buffers mkpath() and friends return is nice in general, but it makes it too easy to introduce new bugs that are "mysterious". Introduction of read_ref() in create_symref() after calling git_path() to get the git_HEAD value (i.e. the path to create a new symref at) consumed more than the available buffers and broke a later call to mkpath() that derives lockpath from it.
