Thanks. Junio, can you pleas substitute the attached patch instead?  It
addresses Stefan's issues.  If you prefer, I can resend the whole
series, but I thought this might be easier.

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] pseudorefs: create and use pseudoref update and delete
 functions

Pseudorefs should not be updated through the ref transaction
API, because alternate ref backends still need to store pseudorefs
in GIT_DIR (instead of wherever they store refs).  Instead,
change update_ref and delete_ref to call pseudoref-specific
functions.
