Reuse existing Repository for refs filtering

The git-refs-filter plugin is meant to be used
for repositories that may have millions of refs
associated with hundreds of thousands of changes.

Opening and closing the repository for every change
to be filtered has a significant performance degradation
which could also bring the entire clone to fail for
timeout.

The Repository object is always the same for the filtering
of all changes and therefore it makes sense to reuse it
instead of wasting CPU cycles in the open/close of the same
repository million of times.
