/*
* current_ref is a performance hack: when iterating over references
* using the for_each_ref*() functions, current_ref is set to the
* current reference's entry before calling the callback function. If
* the callback function calls peel_ref(), then peel_ref() first
* checks whether the reference to be peeled is the current reference
* (it usually is) and if so, returns that reference's peeled version
* if it is available. This avoids a refname lookup in a common case.
