I'm not sure. This is an internal function, so $refs should 
be defined. I'm not sure checking here is worth it.

This whole hunk could be removed.

"first" is only for pagination of "history" action, "shortlog",
"heads" and "tags" have "HEAD" there instead.

It's 16 heads (if you have that many), from what I remember

The purpose of summary page is to have everything at glance (it means
that it should be contained in one, two pages. The pagination of
output is to not send too much at once.
