 looked somewhat suboptimal.

 an earlier one in the series.

 the risk of breakage far outweighs observed performance gain in one

 + Restrict ref-like names immediately below $GIT_DIR
 + refs.c: move dwim_ref()/dwim_log() from sha1_name.c
 An attempt to fix-up unfortunate side effect of mh/check-ref-format-3
 topic. "git show -s config" is never meant to refer to $GIT_DIR/config
 and treat it as a file that records an object name. But tightening the
 rule for reading side means we would need to tighten the rule for the
 writing side, too, which turned out to be rather nasty fallout that
 needs to be sorted out before the next release.
