Whether we are namespaced or not, we used to do for_each_ref() here,
not advertising the HEAD (outside refs/ hierarchy), but we now do,
and as the first element in the output.

Am I reading the patch correctly?

Is that an unrelated but useful bugfix even for people who do not
use server namespaces?

These "export/unset" in &&-chains will allow a failing test to
affect the next test, but that is not a new problem (existing POST
already has that problem).  Just highlighting, so that interested
people may notice and want to clean it up on top of this patch.

Thanks, will queue.
