Once you packed a branch into the packed refs file, you can
create another loose branch of different capitalization,
which then 'hides' the packed ref?
That sounds error prone to me, as a seemingly unrelated branch
changed its value:
git branch BRANCH 012345
git pack-refs --all
git branch branch BRANCH^
git rev-parse BRANCH
(I'd expect BRANCH^ as return)
(I don't have a windows machine for testing here, so that
is pure speculation)
Thanks,
Stefan
