Hi, I believe that I've now got temporary commits (for bookkeeping,

By the way, do you have homepage for this project? If not, perhaps
you could write a few sentences on git wiki, e.g. at
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/Chronoversion
(linking it from http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools)

Is there any neat way of using builtin stuff like git-rev-parse to ask
if a ref has a given SHA1 value and return an easily parsed yes/no
answer?

There is git-show-ref which was made because of introduction of packed
refs, and there is git-for-each-ref which _might_ be used to avoid
extra forking (extra calls).
