Oh yeah.. how about "next/.ref" and "next/foo/.ref"? Ref search code can be modified to check both "next" and "next/.ref" when "next" is requested. Old git basically won't work with new ref style, so there's not much compatibility issue. We can also add "next/.summary" to save a brief description of a ref. But then it would be lost in packed-refs, hm.. -- Duy
