Reading the validate_* subs and check_ref_format sub makes me think that
they should just return either 0 when validation fails or 1 when it
succeeds.

If I add an extra branch ref named "0", then check_ref_format just
returns "0" as it matches the git-check-ref-format style regex. But "0"
is coerced to 0 and validate_and_filter_extra_branches will error out. I
actually reproduced that.

I fixed that too.
