Reference-related functionality in Git is currently spread across many
different commands: git-update-ref(1), git-for-each-ref(1),
git-show-ref(1), git-pack-refs(1) and git-symbolic-ref(1). This makes it
hard for users to discover what functionality we have available to work
with references.
We have thus started to consolidate this functionality into git-refs(1),
which is a toolbox of everything related to references. Until now, the
command doesn't handle functionality of git-update-ref(1).
This unfortunately hasn't heard any responses since June 17th, so I
took a look at it again myself. All the things we discussed during
the review of the initial round has been addressed, it seems.
Shall we mark the topic ready for 'next' now?
