Why is this necessary, may I ask?


I'm playing around with a gui frontend, and there I use
git-for-each-ref to obtain possible arguments for git-checkout. That's
how I discovered the 'problem', and solved it by stripping
'refs/heads/' in my frontend. But then I thought it would be nice if
'git-checkout' did the stripping on my behalf, since this might bite
others too :)
