This seems to fix the issue:

Anywhere in refs/ would be OK, but don't you need to adjust the
test, too?

Even though I do not use git-p4, I'd imagine that I would be upset
if temporary refs that are used only during sync contaminated the
set of local branches I have, if I were a user of git-p4.  Would it
make sense to use "refs/git-p4-tmp" or something instead?

Yes, "refs/git-p4-tmp" would work equally well.

Plus, you are right. A minor test adjustment is necessary (although
the tests pass without adjustment). I will post a full patch.
