As I'm going to deprecate git_head()/git_refs() functions, we'll need an alternative command to debug view.git_head() movement. I think "git colocation status" is a good place to print this kind of information. We don't use "debug object view" because I expect git_head and git_refs will be removed from the view object.
git_head() will be deprecated soon.
While these two are stored in view objects, we intentionally ignore them when undoing. This means that these fields don't have to be tracked by view/operation. I think we can move them away to GitBackend-specific data. We could provide git_head()/git_refs() that load data from GitBackend, but I don't think these template/revset functions are useful. I've never used them except for the git_head() template function, and its use case was to see whether the repository is colocated or not.
