It's git-update-ref. Which highlights one problem with the
porcelain/plumbing distinction. Our plumbing building blocks work at a
very low level, but often when scripting you want to use higher level
building blocks. So porcelain gets used in scripts, and gets an
ambiguous state. Consider "git commit", for example. Does anyone
actually script around "write-tree" and "commit-tree" these days, or do
they just script around "git commit"?
