I reviewed some codepaths that deal with FETCH_HEAD recently.  

As the file is quite different from all the other pseudo references
in that it needs to store more than one object name and in that each
ref in it needs more than just the object name, I doubt that it
makes much sense to enhance the refs API so that its requirements
can be covered.

It would probably make sense for FETCH_HEAD to stay "a text file
directly underneath $GIT_DIR", but get_oid() needs to be able to
read it and return the first object name recorded in the file.
