I actually think this ultimately comes from a poor design of the
name-decorations infrastructure. The program is expected to call
load_ref_decorations() only once and make the choice between the
full/short at that point, which is passed to add_ref_decoration() to
record either 'refs/heads/master' or 'master' in the singleton
name_decoration decoration. But it does not store which one was
chosen by the caller of load_ref_decorations() anywhere in the
subsystem.
When current_pointed_by_HEAD() wants to see if decorations on an
object, e.g. 'master', matches what 'HEAD' resolves to, it cannot
tell if the original set-up was done for the full decoration, and
the current code just assumes (without even realizing that it is
making that assumption) the decoration must have been set up for the
short ones.
Perhaps something like this, but I am not committing it without
tests or a proper log messge.
I moved "static loaded" outside as it is in the same category as the
global name-decoration and decoration-flags, i.e. to be initialised
once at the beginning to a fixed setting and then be used with that
setting.
