project: reuse loaded refs when resolving HEAD

2026-08-31T19:33:39+00:00

When the regular checkout has already loaded GitRefs, derive its current branch and HEAD object from that snapshot instead of spawning symbolic-ref or rev-parse again. Keep linked Git worktrees on their worktree-specific HEAD path because the shared repository HEAD is not authoritative for them.

git_refs: load HEAD with the ref snapshot on Git 2.45

2026-08-31T18:57:39+00:00

Use for-each-ref --include-root-refs to resolve attached and detached HEAD in the same process as refs/* on Git 2.45 and newer. Limit the patterns to HEAD and refs so volatile pseudo-refs do not enter the cache, and retain the existing fallback for older Git and unborn HEADs.

git_refs: read refs via git plumbing for files/reftable

2026-03-17T21:28:39+00:00

Replace direct `packed-refs` file parsing with `git for-each-ref` plumbing to support both `files` and `reftable` backends.
