Function ReferenceNormalizeName

reference.go:525–541

ReferenceNormalizeName normalizes the reference name and checks validity. This will normalize the reference name by removing any leading slash '/' characters and collapsing runs of adjacent slashes between name components into a single slash. See git_reference_symbolic_create() for rules about val
