I started to add some tests, but I had second thoughts. It _is_ nice
to show off the fix, but as far as regressions go, this specific case is
unlikely to come up again. What would be more valuable, I think, is a
test script which set up a very long refname (not just 150 bytes or
whatever) and ran it through a series of git commands.
But then you run into all sorts of portability annoyances with pathname
restrictions (you can hack around creation by writing the refname
directly into packed-refs, but most manipulations will want to take the
.lock in the filesystem). So I dunno. It seems like being thorough is a
lot of hassle for not much gain. Being not-thorough is easy, but is
mostly a token that is unlikely to find any real bugs.
So I punted, at least for now.
I see the patches are marked for 'next' in the latest What's Cooking.
If it is not too late in today's integration cycle, here is a re-roll of
patch 3 that squashes in Pranit's suggestion (if it is too late, then
Pranit, you may want to re-send it as a squash on top).

Subject: [PATCH] show-branch: use skip_prefix to drop magic numbers
We make several starts_with() calls, only to advance
pointers. This is exactly what skip_prefix() is for, which
lets us avoid manually-counted magic numbers.
