This is my fault from more than 10 years ago, but I think the
comment shouldn't have been here (or at its original location). It
talks about the behaviour change relative to the previous version
when the comment was added, i.e. cf0adba788 ("Store peeled refs in
packed-refs file.", 2006-11-19).
I'll remove it after the series settles.
