Interesting. Thanks for working on this.
You say advice, but you're not invoking advise() or guarding the
advice with an advice.* -- the advice is undoubtedly helpful, but not
everyone wants to see it.

I see that there are other structs in our codebase suffixing _cb, to
indicate "callback data". I normally reserve _cb for callback
functions.

Okay, so you might have more than one matching candidate.

Er, what is this? A re-implementation of strrchr()?

What is 13? Please use strlen("refs/remotes/") for readability.
I don't like the + i + 1 thing, but you should be able to get rid of
it with strrchr().

Why are you casting STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP?

Hm, "fatal: " was emitted by die() earlier. I wonder if something
like error() will be nicer than hard-coding "fatal: ".

Hm, why did you use Q_?

die() exits with 128, no? Why are you exiting with 1 now?
