Finally, I could imagine that in this context, we would love to have
refs that are purely intended for interactive use, and therefore it
would make sense to try to bind them to the process ID of the
process calling `git`, i.e. the interactive shell. That way, when I
have two terminal windows, they would "own" their separate ephemeral
refs.

I like that idea, though I think it should probably be based around
getsid() rather than getppid() (I'm not sure how that translates to
windows)

Good idea.

On Windows, we would probably use the `HANDLE` of the associated Win32
Console.
