So `git reflog drop` `git reflog delete` and `git reflog expire` use
`repo_dwim_log()` to resolve the provided reference.
And `repo_dwim_log()` uses the following `ref_rev_parse_rules` to
resolve the reference.
static const char *ref_rev_parse_rules[] = {
"%.*s",
"refs/%.*s",
"refs/tags/%.*s",
"refs/heads/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD",
NULL
};
Which means we do a best case resolution of a given reference, but the
function also checks for ambiguity and warns for it.
