Now I'm more confused. Until 5f7b202a (2008-01-01), there was a
comment
if (level < 2)
return -2; /* at least of form "heads/blah" */
and that behavior has been preserved since the beginning.
Why do most old callers pass a string that doesn't start with refs/
(e.g., see the callers in 03feddd6, 2005-10-13)? Has the intent been
to relax the requirement since then?
