Oops. ;-) Me too sloppy today, sorry.

Cogito _heavily_ assumes on a lot of places that heads live in
refs/heads/ and tags live in refs/tags/. Besides, I think private tags
are much more useful to support than private heads (not that you would
necessarily make more private tags than private heads, but you are more
likely to want tags autopushed than heads; or perhaps that just in my
head?). So what about refs/{heads,tags}/private/? :-)
