yes. Your example was the correct one. Thanks for spotting my problem.

seems to work. Thanks.
Really problematic is checkout:
"git checkout heads/foo" creates a detached HEAD (is this intended).
However, "git checkout heads/foo -B foo" can be used.
Is there a git command to find out if a name is ambiguous?
"git rev-parse foo" outputs "warning: refname 'test' is ambiguous.", but
the return code is zero.
