From: Michael Lohmann <mi.al.lohmann@gmail.com>

This is done to (1) ensure MERGE_HEAD is a ref, (2) obtain the oid without any prefixing by refs.c:repo_dwim_ref() (3) error out when MERGE_HEAD is a symref.

Note that we avoid marking the new error message for translation as it will be done in the next commit when the message is generalized to other special refs.
