This breaks "checkout to merge base" on Windows and t2012 in particular.

I think the attached patch would help.  If this fix is Ok with Windows
people (J6t CC'ed), I'd like to apply this to 'master' so that we can ship
1.7.0-rc0 without breakage.

Work this issue around by first calling check_ref_format(new.path) to see
if the string can possibly be a valid ref under "refs/heads/", before
asking resolve_ref().

Your patch fixes the failure very nicely, thank you very much.

BTW, calling 'git pack-refs --all' before 'git checkout master...'
helps as well :-P
