This moves the FETCH_HEAD handling into refs.c as discussed in 
https://public-inbox.org/git/[email-masked]/

Han-Wen Nienhuys (4):
  refs: split off reading loose ref data in separate function
  refs: fix comment about submodule ref_stores
  refs: move gitdir into base ref_store
  refs: read FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD generically

          This prepares for handling FETCH_HEAD (which is not a regular ref)
          separately from the ref backend.
