True.  Lift the dying one callstack up, and make the lower level
helper check_shared_symref() or something that returns NULL (ok) or
that '/path/name' upon an error?

Also I suspect that this comment will become hard to grok after the
commit is actually made:

A reviewer who is viewing both the pre- and post- text of the patch
can see it used to say HEAD and now it is extended to $symref, but
it would help to have "(e.g. HEAD)" after "...DIR/$symref", I think.
