Thanks for all the feedback, I've incorporated it all in a reroll that's
in progress, except for the above.

I've added a prefix check, so refs/foo and refs/foo/bar will be
considered clashes, but not yet an equality check. Equality for
wildcards is allowed and tested for, so do we really want to 'outlaw'
equality of non-wildcard refspecs?
