This does make writing ORIG_HEAD and friends a lot more heavyweight
that just "write a 40-byte text file on the filesystem to remember
it for a short while", and it becomes even so with the whole reflog
thing, but I think it is a good longer term direction to go.  

Others may disagree, though.

In any case, if we are changing the behaviour with these patches, we
should update the documentation.

Thanks.
