OK, the original checks "if a random garbage file, which may not
necessarily be a ref, exists at $n_dir, we cannot create a ref at
$n_dir/fixes, due to D/F conflict" more directly, but as long as our
intention is to enforce the D/F restriction across different ref
backends [*], creating a ref at $n_dir and making sure $n_dir/fixes
cannot be created is an equivalent check that is better (because it
can be applied for other backends).

    Side note: there is no fundamental need to, though, and there
         are cases where being able to have the 'seen' branch and
         'seen/ps/ref-test-tools' branches at the same time is
         beneficial---packed-refs and ref-table backends would not
         have such an inherent limitation, but they can of course be
         castrated to match what files-backend can(not) do.

I trust that this will be corrected to use some wrapper around "git
symbolic-ref" (or an equivalent for it as a test-tool subcommand) in
some future patch, if not in this series?

Likewise.

We already have the "ref is missing" test here.

I'll stop at this point for now; will hopefully continue in a
separate message later.  Thanks.
