If these run simultaneously, we'll see a lot of lock
contention, but each of the writes will succeed some of the
time. The reflog may record movements between any of the
three refs, but we would expect it to provide a consistent
log: the "from" field of each log entry should be the same
as the "two" field of the previous one.
