Subject: [PATCH] lei_mirror: avoid dir/file conflicts in update-ref

Using the files ref backend for git, `delete' and `create'
operations for `update-ref --stdin' need to be processed in
separate transactions to avoid conflicts in cases where a file
becomes a directory (or presumably, vice versa).
