Re: [WIP/PATCH v4 1/8] for-each-ref: extract helper functions out of grab_single_ref()

Just match_refname may not carry all the semantics of the function,
which matches a prefix up to the end of string, or up to a / (but you
can't just be a prefix stopping in the middle of a word). To me, the
"_as_path" helped understanding the overall behavior of the function.

Yeah, Karthik explained that the plan is to add different kinds of
matching later, and in that context _as_path is a good way to tell
them apart.

Thanks.
