I peeked at libgit2 and I think it does not support bundles at all

so that is safe. Grepping for "bundle" in dulwich turns up no hits,

Looks like JGit does support them. I did a very brief test, and it
seems
to silently ignore a HEAD ref that has the NUL (I guess maybe it just
rejects it as a malformed refname).
We could make JGit happier either by:
1. Only including the symref magic in ambiguous cases, so that
regular
ones Just Work as usual.
2. Including two lines, like:
$sha1 HEAD\0symref=refs/heads/master
$sha1 HEAD
which JGit does the right thing with (and git.git seems to, as
well).
Sounds sensible, even though it looks ugly X-<.
I believe that the 'two HEADs' mechanism would also fall foul of the
'duplicate refs' warning (untested).
