refs: loosen the OID parsing We used to require loose references to contain only an OID (possibly after trimming the string). This is however not enough for letting us lookup FETCH_HEAD, which can have a lot of content after the initial OID. Change the parsing rules so that a loose refernce must e at least 40 bytes long and the 41st (if it's there) must be accepted by isspace(3). This makes the trim unnecessary, so only do it for symrefs. This fixes #977.
