Earlier version of the patch used ':' (instead of ' / ') to concatenate
multiple refs pointing to the same object, then split on ':'. Character
':' was used because it cannot be part of valid ref name (as of
git-check-ref-name).

Note that usually there is at most one ref pointing to given object;
multiple refs are quite rare (usually when starting new branch, or just
tagged a branch).
