git-remote.txt: avoid sounding as if loose refs are the only ones in the world
It was correct to say "The file $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master stores the commit object name at the tip of the master branch" in the older days, but not anymore, as refs can be packed into $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file. Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and "symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation detail. This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/ file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.
