All refs should live under refs/ (except the special ones like HEAD
etc). It's usually a mistake if someone manages to create one outside of
refs/. The plumbing commands allow you to do that, but users usually
shouldn't use those.
Being able to manually point HEAD at a ref is actually useful; when I've
created repos that start out with a 'vendor branch', I want to do the
initial import into a branch called 'upstream', not 'master'. Using 'git
symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/upstream' in a brand-new repo allows that
to happen, and works quite well.
Please don't take it away :-)
