Thanks my friend, you have expressed this issue more clearly. I will
post a new description based on your explanation with the creationToken
case covered.

Copy that.

I wonder if we need a mental model that we should `reprepare_packed_git`
that when a new pack and its corresponding idx is generated? Currently
whether to call `reprepare_packed_git` is determined by the caller.

But within the scope of this bug, I tend to remove the
`REF_SKIP_OID_VERIFICATION` flag when writing refs as Patrick suggested.
