Re: allow only a strictly defined set of references under .git/

Maybe we should only allow only a strictly defined set of refnames
under $GIT_DIR? The directory is used pretty much for anything else
(temporary message files, config, description).

I am glad somebody is paying attention.

I actually run into it...

Probably post 1.0 --- I have not assessed the extent of
confusion yet.

It has good chances to continue to grow, as git gets more exposure.
