Yes, but it has to be a symlink pointing into "refs/", not just a regular file holding a hash value. Which is fine for most purposes but sort of a pain for me.

I'll probably have it be a symlink to "refs/gitfs-dynamic" or something and then have "refs" be populated with that synthetic file and symlinks to any of the normal contents of the refs directory. Not too bad, but will take a little bit of code.
