 * How to handle various characters in refnames:
 * This table is used by both the SIMD and non-SIMD code.  It has
 * some cases that are only useful for the SIMD; these are handled
 * equivalently to the listed disposition in the non-SIMD code.
 * 0: An acceptable character for refs
 * 1: @, look for a following { to reject @{ in refs (SIMD or = 0)
 * 2: \0: End-of-component and string
 * 3: /: End-of-component (SIMD or = 2)
 * 4: ., look for a preceding . to reject .. in refs
 * 5: {, look for a preceding @ to reject @{ in refs
 * 6: *, usually a bad character except, once as a wildcard (SIMD or = 7)
 * 7: A bad character except * (see check_refname_component below)

 *
 * Each directory in the reference namespace is represented by a

 * far.  If (flags & REF_INCOMPLETE) is set, then the directory and
 * its subdirectories haven't been read yet.  REF_INCOMPLETE is only
 * used for loose reference directories.
 *
 * References are represented by a ref_entry with (flags & REF_DIR)
 * unset and a value member that describes the reference's value.  The
 * flag member is at the ref_entry level, but it is also needed to
 * interpret the contents of the value field (in other words, a
 * ref_value object is not very much use without the enclosing
 * ref_entry).
 *
 * Reference names cannot end with slash and directories' names are
 * always stored with a trailing slash (except for the top-level
 * directory, which is always denoted by "").  This has two nice
 * consequences: (1) when the entries in each subdir are sorted
 * lexicographically by name (as they usually are), the references in
 * a whole tree can be generated in lexicographic order by traversing
 * the tree in left-to-right, depth-first order; (2) the names of
 * references and subdirectories cannot conflict, and therefore the
 * presence of an empty subdirectory does not block the creation of a
 * similarly-named reference.  (The fact that reference names with the
 * same leading components can conflict *with each other* is a
 * separate issue that is regulated by is_refname_available().)
 *
 * Please note that the name field contains the fully-qualified
 * reference (or subdirectory) name.  Space could be saved by only
 * storing the relative names.  But that would require the full names
 * to be generated on the fly when iterating in do_for_each_ref(), and
 * would break callback functions, who have always been able to assume
 * that the name strings that they are passed will not be freed during
 * the iteration.
