When you have for example a bare repository stored on NFS, and that you create new workdirs locally (using contrib's git-new-workdir), logs/refs is a symlink to a different device. Hence when the reflogs are renamed, all must happen below logs/refs or one gets cross device rename errors like:
git branch -m foo error: unable to move logfile logs/refs/heads/master to tmp-renamed-log: Invalid cross-device link fatal: Branch rename failed
The fix is hence to use logs/refs/.tmp-renamed-log as a temporary log name, instead of just tmp-renamed-log.
