[PATCH v2] t1309: use a neutral branch name in the `onbranch` test cases

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The `onbranch` test cases touched by this patch do not actually try to
include any other config. Their purpose is to avoid regressing on two
bugs in the `include.onbranch:<name>.path` code that we fixed in the
past, bugs that are actually unrelated to any concrete branch name.

The first bug was fixed in 85fe0e800ca (config: work around bug with
includeif:onbranch and early config, 2019-07-31). Essentially, when
reading early config, there would be a catch-22 trying to access the
refs, and therefore we simply cannot evaluate the condition at that
point. The test case ensures that we avoid emitting this bogus message:

	BUG: refs.c:1851: attempting to get main_ref_store outside of repository

The second test case concerns the non-Git scenario, where we simply do
not have a current branch to begin with (because we don't have a
repository in the first place), and the test case was introduced in
22932d9169f (config: stop checking whether the_repository is NULL,
2019-08-06) to ensure that we don't cause a segmentation fault should
the code still incorrectly try to look at any ref.

In short, neither of these two test cases will ever look at a current
branch name, even in case of regressions. Therefore, the actual branch
name does not matter at all. We can therefore easily avoid
racially-charged branch names here, and that's what this patch does.
