Sure.

I would have recovered faster if I'd known had a simple way to get a
list of all the refs that git-rev-parse finds.  Is there an easy way?  I
assume "find .git -name .." will miss packed refs.  Both git-show-ref
and git-for-each-ref seem to ignore top-level references.

Maybe the "refname 'master' is ambiguous" warning could be modified to
list the choices?  I don't know if that would be overkill.
