get_sha1_basic(): corner case ambiguity fix
When .git/refs/heads/frotz and .git/refs/tags/frotz existed, and the object name stored in .git/refs/heads/frotz were corrupt, we ended up picking tags/frotz without complaining. Worse yet, if the corrupt .git/refs/heads/frotz was more than 40 bytes and began with hexadecimal characters, it silently overwritten the initial part of the returned result. This commit adds a couple of tests to demonstrate these cases, with a fix. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
