From: Stephan Springl <springl-git@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This works in repositories that have their refs packed by "git-pack-refs --all --prune" whereas testing the file $git_dir/refs/heads/$opt_o does not.

Unfortunately your patch is white-space corrupted (it has an extra space on all lines starting with a space, it seems). Therefore I redid it with this email. It would be nice to follow Documentation/SubmittingPatches next time.
