Perhaps like this (again, totally untested).
A few points to note:
- If the "Nakefile" is a "new file" with substantial contents, the
result I labelled as "useless" in the previous message _might_
have been seen as useful by some user; it might be a regression
in that sense, but then there is fundamentally no way to give
sensible behaviour to core.ignorecase users.
- We used to say get_sha1("HEAD"), but that is not a very good
practice; even though we know DWIM will find the .git/HEAD, make
it clear that we are not DWIMming by calling resolve_ref().
