fot-each-ref's refname format outputs each ref in its full format, e.g.
'refs/heads/foo' and 'refs/tags/bar'. However, there are tools that
need only the last part of the refname, e.g. only 'foo' and 'bar'. Such
a tool is git's bash completion script, which spends considerable amount
of time removing the unneeded parts from for-each-ref's output.
Therefore, we introduce a new for-each-ref format called 'refbasename',
which strips everything before and including the second '/' in the ref's
name from the output.

I assumed that refs always look like 'refs/{heads,tags,whatever}/foo',
hence this patch breaks if a ref might look like 'refs/foo' or just
'foo'. But can I really rely on that?
