Also this test-case needs to be added
git branch test
git pack-refs
rm .git/refs/heads/test
git branch test/second
which should barf. Otherwise it would allow both test and
test/second branches to exist, and trying to clone from such a
repository would fail, at least by the existing tools (it might
have been even nicer if we from day one allowed both test and
test/second to exist, though, but it is too late now, or too
early before we upgrade everybody).
