[PATCH] branch.c: use the parsed branch name

[PATCH] branch.c: use the parsed branch name

[Michael J Gruber]

When setting up tracking info, branch.c uses the given branch specifier
("name"). Use the parsed name ("ref.buf") instead so that

git branch --set-upstream @{-1} foo

sets up tracking info for the previous branch rather than for a branch
named "@{-1}".

That's actually 1 of n in my branch pattern series, but independent,
and ready to go now.
