I took a look at David's changes. The conflicts come from "refs:
resolve symbolic refs first". I'm not sure I fully understand all that
is going on in that patch, but it looks like after it, we are less
likely to handle ENOTDIR and d/f conflicts for symrefs, as we skip that
whole code path for REF_ISSYMREF.
The rest of the conflicts are related to the fact that all of the
initial resolution is pulled out of lock_ref_sha1_basic(), and the
caller is supposed to do it. So I think if create_symref() is going to
call lock_ref_sha1_basic(), as in my series, when combined with David's
it should also be calling dereference_symrefs(). That uses a
ref_transaction, which we don't have in create_symref() right now, but
it makes sense that we would ultimately want to push symref updates
through the same transaction/backend system.
So sorry, I don't have a quick resolution to this. I'm hoping David can
make more sense of it than I did.
