Would it be a big problem to use refs/heads/$branch? That's the currently commonly agreed convention about location for storing branch heads, not just some weird Cogito-specific invention. And it'd be very nice to have those locations consistent across git repositories.

Since Jeff brought up $repo/branches/$branch, you may also want to add that $repo/branches/$branch is used to record the URL of the remote $branch (the information used to be in a flat file $repo/remotes, branch name and URL separated by shell $IFS, one record on each line), and is quite different from those 40-byte SHA1 plus LF files you see in $repo/refs/*/ directory. I think it is a reasonable one, I also follow the $repo/branches/$branch convention Cogito uses, and I would encorage other Porcelain implementations to follow suit. ```
