I have always wondered why refs and tags are not
in the regular object store. In a way, there
should be just one root pointer (SHA1) pointing
to a tree with refs, etc.

Assuming that they also retain the "having an object implies having all
of the objects it points to" property, then it makes it hard to talk
about subsets or single refs. If I fetch from you and you communicate
your repo state as some hash, then I am stuck getting _all_ of your
refs to complete this property.

push/pull would still work at the branch level. The local state
tracking objects wouldn't be exchanged.
