[PATCH] Make do_each_ref() follow symlinks.
Because there is no reason not to, and this makes things a bit safer when running "git prune". [jc: I do not necessarily agree with the reasoning of the original author that it is a good way to keep "git prune" from stomping on objects to have a symlink that points at .git/refs of the repository A in the .git/refs of the repository B when repository A borrows object database from repository B. For one thing, the object database that everybody borrows objects from may not even have its own .git/refs hierarchy. Come to think of it, maybe we should disallow symlink inside .git/refs hierarchy; we update the files there by creat/rename pair, so having symlinks would not work anyway when you do anything that would update them.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
