Don't think so?  After all it's in the .c and just another static
variable.

I decided to do such dwimmery only on the command line, but not for
the config.  This is consistent with what's currently happening for
core.notesRef.  I also documented this.

*shrug*

I was trying to be smart and save a call to git_config() when we know
we don't care about the config anyway.  After all it does read a bunch
of files.

The catch is in the '&& t->ref'.  Again I'm just trying to be a bit
defensive.  Anyway, I ripped out the old formatting and put the NULL
test first this time.

Well, I think we're into bikeshedding territory now, so I just left it
as it was.
