I personally think that check-refname-format should lose its second
parameter and always check for a concrete full refs, so that we can
tighten the current allow-onelevel case a bit further (i.e. ".git/HEAD" is
OK at the root level, but ".git/refs/heads/HEAD" is asking for trouble,
and ".git/config" is downright confusing. The function does not get a good
enough clue by only ONELEVEL). That would mean REFNAME_FULL will not be
necessary---it should be the only mode of operation, and the callers need
to be adjusted accordingly.
We should also introduce another function check-refspec-half-format to be
used for the checks for left and right halves of refspec ("refs/heads/*"
is OK but "refs/heads*" is not, perhaps).
A single function trying to do both and not doing a good job in either
case is not a pretty picture.
