Yes, considering this and what you've said below about how the
bits don't make sense, I re-wrote filter_refs() to filter based on what we want
So this part will be removed entirely. Thanks for pointing me in the
right direction.

This was taken from branch.c, I thought of using an enum instead but that
would again require most of branch.c, hence it's been carried over
without changing
I'm thinking of changing it, any suggestions?

Thanks will change.

Will do.
