Same concerns as with _update:

If it were ever triggered, the message
error: some bad thing
fatal: failed transaction create for refs/heads/master
looks overly verbose and unclear. Something like
fatal: cannot create ref refs/heads/master: some bad thing
might work better. It's hard to tell without an example in mind.

One less 'assert' is nice. :)
As with _update, the message should start with "BUG:" to make it clear
to users and translators that this should never happen, even with
malformed user input. That gets corrected in patch 28 but it's
clearer to include it from the start.
