"git check-ref-format --branch $name" feature was originally
introduced (and was advertised) as a way for scripts to take any
end-user supplied string (like "master", "@{-1}" etc.) and see if it
is usable when Git expects to see a branch name, and also obtain the
concrete branch name that the at-mark magic expands to.

Emphasize that "see if it is usable" role in the description and
clarify that the @{...} expansion only occurs when run from within a
repository.

Missing sign-off, unlike the other two, intended?

I'll take these three to replace what I tentatively queued, not
necessarily because I like the change in 1/3 better, but because
these are explained much better; besides I prefer a version that at
least two people deeply looked at.

Okay, thanks.  I'll add the rest of the change as a patch on top. :)

Thanks,
Jonathan
