Message

This gets rid of the special casing code for pseudorefs in refs.c

This is in preparation for reftable.

v4

 * Address problems on case-insensitive file systems reported by Dscho.

Han-Wen Nienhuys (3):
  t1400: use git rev-parse for testing PSEUDOREF existence
  Modify pseudo refs through ref backend storage
  Make HEAD a PSEUDOREF rather than PER_WORKTREE.
