This is a bit of a tangent but I've been wondering what the practical benefit of distinguishing between "HEAD" and "pseudoref" is. I don't know the history so there may be a good reason but not classifying "HEAD" as a "pseudoref" seems to make discussions like this more complicated than they would be if "HEAD" were a "pseudoref". Would it be beneficial to loosen the definition of "psuedoref" to remove the restriction that they may not be symbolic refs or have a reflog?
