OK.
 static int set_head(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
 {
 	int i, opt_a = 0, opt_d = 0, result = 0;
-	struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT, buf2 = STRBUF_INIT;
+	struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT, buf2 = STRBUF_INIT,
+		buf_prev = STRBUF_INIT;
 	char *head_name = NULL;
 
+	struct ref_store *refs = get_main_ref_store(the_repository);

What does the blank line between "head_name" and "refs" declaration
indicate?  Is "refs" so special that it must stand separately from
all others?

The primary purpose of this step is to pass a strbuf to
refs_update_symref() so that we can learn what the original value of
the HEAD was, so that report_auto() can give a more intelligent
message.  The introduction of "refs" to avoid repetitive calls to
get_main_ref_store() is orthogonal to that.  It is a good change,
but it should stand on its own, as a separate "preparatory clean-up"
patch.
