I already assume/know that refs/heads and refs/tags are completely

I also think the core GIT tools already assume that anything
directly under .git which is strictly a file and which is named
entirely with uppercase letters (aside from "HEAD") is strictly a
temporary/short-lived state type item (e.g. COMMIT_MSG) used by a
Porcelain.

But is saying ".git/refs/eclipse-workspaces" is probably able to
be used for this purpose safe?  :-)


.git/eclipse/whatever-you-like

would probably be better. Heads can be stored directly under .git/refs too. Most likely, nothing will ever be stored under ./git/eclipse by either core git or the current (other) porcelains though.
