That is not all that difficult.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you were expecting that the first line would read
refs/heads/master HEAD
Alas, this behaviour stems from dwim_ref() returning "refs/heads/master" as real ref.
I am not quite sure how to solve this, though. Let me see what I can come up with.
