Should we maybe allow RefSpec to serialize itself with
os.writeObject() rather than using writeUTF() directly?

Doesn't the style above make it easy to define and document
a format that is easy for non-java programs to write and read,
while writeObject introduces java-centric stuff (depending on
the full class name etc).
