No.  I meant an exposure of local branch names by recording them
in the commit object, and nothing else, by that comment.

Instead of using an extra $GIT_DIR/bind file extending what we
record in the index file is OK.  $GIT_INDEX_FILE, $GIT_DIR/HEAD,
and $GIT_DIR/bind pretty much go hand-in-hand anyway and they
_are_ local to the repository, just like branch names are, so I
do not have any problem with using local branch names in these
places, but not in a commit object (or gitlink object for that
matter).
