[PATCH 0/7] refs: convert special refs to become normal pseudo-refs

Hi,

this patch series is a follow-up to the one that introduced `is_special_ref()` [1]. Back then, we agreed that the list of special refs ought to shrink over time [2] so that only the actually-special refs FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD remain, which is exactly what I'm doing now.
