Still, I think it would be nice to have an "out-of-the-box" general
solution for this. And since as Junio said, it might be nice to have
private heads as well, I might mention my ancient proposal to just keep
refs with filename starting with a dot (refs/tags/.foo, ...) private by
default. I have discussed this with Junio and IIRC he wasn't very happy
with this proposal, but I can't remember his arguments now. :-(
