There's the remote tracking heads--I find it confusing to lump them
together with branch heads, since the two really behave very
differently. Last I checked stgit also kept special refs for the top
and bottom of a patch series. And those special {*_}HEAD cases are
important.
OK, but I understand the complaint that this phrase is a bit
over-abstract at this point, so I'll keep thinking about it.
