A new configuration option, 'core.warnambiguousrefs', can be
set to warn you if you use "frotz" to name a ref when you
have more than one "frotz" under $GIT_DIR/refs (e.g. you have
both branch "frotz" and tag "frotz", and/or you have
refs/remotes/frotz/HEAD).
Is there any reason why this isn't enabled by default?
Not in particular, other than Inertia and trying one baby step
at a time.
