incomplete object store is not suitable to be published to the
outside world but sometimes useful for private repository.

. You can be using `objects/info/alternates` mechanism, or
`$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES` mechanism to 'borrow'
objects from other object stores. A repository with this kind

HEAD::
A symref (see glossary) to the `refs/heads/` namespace
HEAD can also record a specific commit directly, instead of
being a symref to point at the current branch. Such a state
is often called 'detached HEAD', and almost all commands work
