[PATCH] filter-branch: when dwim'ing a ref, only allow heads and tags

From: Johannes Schindelin <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:23
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Previously, we matched all refs that had /$ref in them.  And tried to
verify the result as a ref.  If more than one match was found, the result
was not a ref, though.

So only allow tags and heads to be dwim'ed.  If both a tag and a head with
that name exist, it will be ignored again.

Caught by Johannes Sixt.

	Heh.  I just realised that I managed to fsck up a one-line patch.  
	D'oh!  Thanks for fixing it, Hannes.
