+ of this configuration over any other commits in the "selection

++
+Note that setting this configuration to `refs/foo` does not mean that
+the commits at the tips of `refs/foo/bar` and `refs/foo/baz` will
+necessarily be selected. This is because commits are selected for
+bitmaps from within a series of windows of variable length.

+If a commit at the tip of any reference which is a suffix of any value
+of this configuration is seen in a window, it is immediately given
+preference over any other commit in that window.
