Anyway, regardless, we could certainly make HEAD be a regular file 
containing the name of the head instead.

It probably wouldn't even require a whole lot of changes. HEAD already 
ends up getting some special attention, since most of the things that look 
for refs only look inside the .git/refs directory.
