What's the recommended usage of a Git symbolic reference?

Question

The following shell code correctly creates a chain of symbolic references

git symbolic-ref \"first\" \"refs/heads/master\"
git symbolic-ref \"second\" \"firs         


        

Answer 1

It would be desirable that symbolic links can be used more transparently and can be pushed as well. They could be a powerful tool for new workflows. Currently, if I create a symbolic link and then push is the server will have the hash not the link in the corresponding reference.
