Because the pattern is not anchored to the left with a slash, it is
clear that the original cannot even claim that it was trying to
munge "foo/refs/tags/" as well.

Which means this is trivially correct, but at the same time I wonder
what it means for our-head to point at a ref in refs/tags/ hierarchy.
