This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the

to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented.
The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were
less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by
the rules of git-rev-parse.

The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous
cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches
ending on the same short name.

As you introduced long names around 5/10 to have two different
ones for clarity with the goal of unifying them, so once you
unified the rules, it probably is a good idea to rename the long
"do_this_with_X_rule()" and "do_this_with_Y_rule()" functions
back to "do_this()", isn't it?

Absolutely.

But I'm not sure if I'm the one who unifies them.
