-## 'git show-ref master' sorts its output alphabetically, so we can't rely on
-## it to resolve 'master': we might get 'alpha/master' instead.
+## Guard against a bug that occurs if 'git show-ref' is used to resolve refs
+## instead of 'git rev-parse --verify': show-ref returns a list of partial
+## matches sorted alphabetically, so any code using it may resolve refs
+## incorrectly.
