Agreed. It's a minor point, but one that can mislead users who don't

Wow, you really go all out.  Looks pretty good to me, except maybe this:
++
+For any of the `$GIT_DIR/refs` cases above, packed refs from
+`$GIT_DIR/packed-refs` may be substituted (e.g., a line with
+`refs/heads/master` in the packed-refs file would have the same
+precedence as the file `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master`).
Are they really equal precedence?  How does git decide, when there's
one of each?  I'd guess packed-refs might actually be strictly higher
precedence, but I'm not sure.
