Subject: [PATCH/RFC] Documentation: add a FILES section for show-ref
Date: Sun, 8 Aug 2010 20:32:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100809013243.GA9385@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <AANLkTi=J3tDnZUg3k5bzDk2ydzYVVLKLwoW0gpBypYAs@mail.gmail.com>

A peek at where the refs are kept might help understanding, even if,
as the DESCRIPTION section suggests, direct access is not part of the
public API.

Balance that out with a pointer to update-ref.
