This causes headaches on Windows: It creates an empty file, named 
"bogus", with all the data diverted to the alternate data stream named 
"name". Needless to say that this...

does not remove the file "bogus", but only the alternate data stream (if 
at all---I forgot to check). How about .git/refs/heads/bogus..nam.e?
