git check-ref-format --print
Tolerating empty path components in ref names means each ref does
not have a unique name. This creates difficulty for porcelains
that want to see if two branches are equal. Add a helper associating
to each ref a canonical name.
If a user asks a porcelain to create a ref "refs/heads//master",
the porcelain can run "git check-ref-format --print refs/heads//master"
and only deal with "refs/heads/master" from then on.
