No. You do need the lock.
The ref is locked only during transaction_commit()
If you don't want to lock the reflog file and instead rely on the lock
on the ref itself you will need to
rework your patches so that the lock on the ref is taken already
during, for example, transaction_update_ref() instead.
But without doing those changes and moving the ref locking from
_commit() to _update_ref() you will risk reflog corruption/surprises
if two operations collide and both rewrite the reflog without any lock held.
