Deep inside get_sha1() the name of the requested ref is matched

introduces a function that returns the full name of the matched
ref to the outside.
For example 'master' is typically returned as 'refs/heads/master'.
The new function can be used by "git rev-parse" to print the full
name of the matched ref and can be used by "git send-pack" to expand
a local ref to its full name.
I have not really studies your patch, but from your description it
sounds
as if dwim_ref() does what you want.
Without my patch get_sha1_with_mode() calls get_sha1_1() calls
get_sha1_basic()
calls dwim_ref(). I didn't analyze in detail what the *sha1*
functions add
to what dwim_ref() provides.
The patch passes the information from dwim_ref() up the callstack.
Maybe this
is not needed and I could directly call dwim_ref(). But I don't know.
