Instead of hard-coding the offset strlen("refs/heads/") to skip
the prefix "refs/heads/" use the skip_prefix() function which
is more communicative and verifies that the string actually
starts with that prefix.
Though we don't check for the result of verification here as
it's (almost) always the case that the string does start
with "refs/heads", it's just better to avoid hard-coding and
be more communicative.
