    Gracefully handle case when keep-around references are corrupted or exist already · 39106483

    We were seeing a number of error messages when attempting to create a keep-around ref:
    
    1. Failed to create locked file `refs/keep-around/XYZ`: File exists
    2. Failed to write reference `refs/keep-around/XYZ`: a reference with that name already exists.
    
    I'm not sure how these happen, but I suspect when multiple workers attempt to write the same
    file we may have an issue. The force parameter should help ensure the file gets created,
    as well as the rescues to prevent 500 Errors.
    
    Rugged/libgit2 unfortunately do not allow you to delete or re-create a reference that has
    been corrupted, even with the force parameter.
    
    Closes #20109
