This only changes the behavior of "git check-ref-format -h"
without any other options and arguments.
This change cannot be breaking backward compatibility, since any
valid refname must contain a /. Most existing scripts use
arguments such as "heads/$foo". If some script checks the
refname "-h" alone, git check-ref-format will still exit with
nonzero status, and the only detrimental side-effect will be a
usage string sent to stderr.

'git check-ref-format' has learned --branch and --print options
since the usage string was last updated.

normalize_path_copy() is a complicated function, but most of its
functionality will never apply to a ref name that has been checked
with check_ref_format().

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.

This allows a common calling sequence
strbuf_branchname(&ref, name);
strbuf_splice(&ref, 0, 0, "refs/heads/", 11);
if (check_ref_format(ref.buf))
die(...);
to be refactored into
if (strbuf_check_branch_ref(&ref, name))
die(...);

The command may not be the best place to add this new feature, but
$ git check-ref-format --branch "@{-1}"
allows Porcelains to figure out what branch you were on before the last
branch switching.

User notifications are presented as 'git cmd', and code comments
are presented as '"cmd"' or 'git's cmd', rather than 'git-cmd'.

This hopefully finishes the clean-up Ramsay started with recent
commit 15e593e4d3 and commit

This changes the calling convention of built-in commands and
passes the "prefix" (i.e. pathname of $PWD relative to the
project root level) down to them.
