So the definition of get_headref() is to always take everything under
but not including "refs/"?  IOW, the tip of the master branch is asked
with get_headref("heads/master")?

I think show-ref can easily be confused by its tail matching behaviour,
and is a bad command to use in a context like this.  To be safe, I think
get_headref() should be:

	sub get_headref {
        	my ($it) = (@_);
                my $r = `git-rev-parse --verify "refs/$it"`;
		return undef unless $? == 0;
		chomp $r;
		return $r;
	}
