You may also want to add _READING (I do not know offhand).  Also
you'd want to make sure resolve_ref_unsafe() returned a plausible
looking refname (i.e. passes starts_with("refs/heads/").

But other than that, yeah, doing these as "extra checks" only after
we see the primary resolve_ref("HEAD") fails was what I had in mind.

Thanks.
