Junio C Hamano 9b143c6e15 Teach update-ref about a symbolic ref stored in a textfile.
A symbolic ref is a regular file whose contents is "ref:", followed by
optional leading whitespaces, followed by a GIT_DIR relative pathname,
followed by optional trailing whitespaces (the optional whitespaces
are unconditionally removed, so you cannot have leading nor trailing
whitespaces).  This can be used in place of a traditional symbolic
link .git/HEAD that usually points at "refs/heads/master".  You can
instead have a regular file .git/HEAD whose contents is
"ref: refs/heads/master".

[jc: currently the code does not enforce the symbolic ref to begin with
 refs/, unlike the symbolic link case.  It may be worthwhile to require
 either case to begin with refs/ and not have any /./ nor /../ in them.]
