Subject: Use resolve_ref() to implement read_ref().
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.8~13
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a876ed83be5467d6075da8a16306724cb1babc2a;p=git.git

Use resolve_ref() to implement read_ref().

Symbolic refs are understood by resolve_ref(), so existing read_ref()
users will automatically understand them as well.
