[PATCH 0/6] doc: update-ref: amend old material and discuss symrefs

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

(See the previous email for the context)

This series removes or moves some old material in the update-ref doc and improves the discussion of symrefs, opting for a high-level description with some redundancy (see patch 5/6) in order to avoid a reported mistake/confusion.

The end goal (after all patches are applied):

• First paragraph (in Description) describes the first form
• Second paragraph the second form
• Third paragraph mentions symrefs and explains why `--stdin` supports
  them
• A new section whither the symlink (FS) vs. symrefs (`ref: ` files… or
  strings nowadays with the different formats that refs can have?)
  discussion is moved
• Link update-ref to symbolic-ref and vice versa

Kristoffer Haugsbakk (6):
  doc: update-ref: drop “flag”
  doc: update-ref: remove safety paragraphs
  doc: update-ref: demote symlink to last section
  doc: update-ref: remove confusing paragraph
  doc: update-ref: discuss symbolic links
  doc: mutually link update-ref and symbolic-ref
