So I'm wondering if it makes sense to properly support hidden
directories in
refs/, and what it would take to do so. (I image, for example, that
things
would behave quite differently on Windows...)
Thoughts?
We currently use refs/hidden/heads and refs/hidden/tags for hidden refs. It does require calling 'gitk --branches --tags' rather than 'gitk --all', but otherwise I like the behavior (git branch only lists refs/heads, git tag only lists ref/tags). And they never get cloned by default (they can still be fetched when needed).
