From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@xxxxxxxxxx>
The FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD refs must be stored in a file, regardless of the
type of ref backend. This is because they can hold more than just a single ref.
To accomodate them for alternate ref backends, read them from a file generically
in refs_read_raw_ref()
