[PATCH] git-filter-branch could be confused by similar names

From: Dmitry Potapov <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:01
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

'git-filter-branch branch' could fail producing the error:
"Which ref do you want to rewrite?" if existed another branch
or tag, which name was 'branch-something' or 'something/branch'.
