Okay.

Your prefixcmp() point about them being used so regularly made me wonder if 
the following would improve readability:

static inline ref_is_head(const char *a)
{
    return (prefixcmp(a, PATH_REFS_HEADS) == 0);
}
static inline ref_is_tag(const char *a)
{
    return (prefixcmp(a, PATH_REFS_TAGS) == 0);
}
static inline ref_is_remote(const char *a)
{
    return (prefixcmp(a, PATH_REFS_REMOTES) == 0);
}

which would in turn convert:

   if (!strncmp(head, "refs/heads/", 11))
       head += 11;

into

   if (ref_is_head(head))
       head += STRLEN_PATH_REFS_HEADS;

which expresses the intent of the code far more clearly.
