Minor nit: we show whatever the other side sends us, which is the refs, HEAD, and peeled tags. So mentioning MERGE_HEAD isn't wrong (if the server _did_ send it to us, we would omit it), but it is a bit misleading.

I think saying "pseudo-refs like HEAD" is OK; even though we know it is only HEAD in the current server implementation, it better describes what the client side is doing.
