Hi Alex,

rebase --fork-point needs to look up the full ref name before calling
get_fork_point in the same manner that merge-base --fork-point does.

Also, thinking about this more, would it be possible to put the dwim_ref
logic into get_fork_point() directly? There are currently only these two
callers so I suspect it should be fine and it'll result in cleaner
logic.

We could also squash it down into one patch.

It's not obvious why this was failing in the first place. Perhaps we
could document it better in the commit message?

Maybe something like:

	We used to pass in the upstream_name directly into the
	get_fork_point() machinery. However, get_fork_point() was
	expecting a fully qualified ref name even though most users use
	the short name for branches. This resulted in `--fork-point` not
	working as expected since, without the full ref name, the reflog
	lookup would fail and it would behave as if we weren't passing
	in `--fork-point` at all.

Also, I'm not why this test case in particular that was duplicated (and
not the one above) given that the first three `--fork-point` test cases
fail without the change to rebase. Perhaps we want to duplicate all
"refs/heads/master" tests with a corresponding "master" test?

Thanks,

Denton
