I agree with the order of importance above. But "relatively" is a
very good keyword. Just like bisection refs, what is in the index
and the commit detached HEAD points at are expected to be tentative.
As a part of still-experimental feature, I'd rather see our
bandwidth spent on fixing it the right way first time, instead of
piling on an unproven quick-fix as a band aid, having to rip it off
and fixing it properly later.
It's hard for me to predict when the ref-iterator stuff will be merged.
It is a big change, but so far the feedback seems pretty good. I can
tell you that pushing it and ref-stores forward is high on my priority list.
Thanks.
