Re: [PATCH 2/6] add get_sha1_with_real_ref() returning full name of ref on demand

Hi,

Deep inside get_sha1() the name of the requested ref is matched
according to the rules documented in git-rev-parse. This patch
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.
