Fair enough.
My spider sense still tingles about this, and I have the feeling that you might run into weird merge problems when two refs are updated simultaneously. I guess that shouldn't happen since you will write out the complete "here are the refs" after every operation, leaving no room for simultaneous updates, but I haven't given it enough thought to be sure there aren't funny corner cases.
