I plan on looking at the refs/remote test today.

Any opinions, whether we want the 'strict' mode? i.e.:

for refs/heads/xyzzy and refs/tags/xyzzy:

loose mode (current implementation):

  refs/heads/xyzzy => heads/xyzzy
  refs/tags/xyzzy  => xyzzy

there would be a ambiguous warning (if enabled) if you use xyzzy as a
tag, but it resolves correctly to the tag.

strict mode:

  refs/heads/xyzzy => heads/xyzzy
  refs/tags/xyzzy  => tags/xyzzy

will always produce a non-ambiguous short forms.
