[PATCH v2 0/4] Use refs API for handling sundry pseudorefs

["Han-Wen Nienhuys via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This series changes the handling of CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and REVERT_HEAD to use
the refs API, as a preliminary refactor for reftable. 

No functional changes.

Han-Wen Nienhuys (4):
  refs: make refs_ref_exists public
  sequencer: treat CHERRY_PICK_HEAD as a pseudo ref
  builtin/commit: suggest update-ref for pseudoref removal
  sequencer: treat REVERT_HEAD as a pseudo ref

          Check for existence and delete CHERRY_PICK_HEAD through ref functions.
          This will help cherry-pick work with alternate ref storage backends.
