This is a code move from resolve_gitlink_ref(), which goes back to
0ebde32c87 (Add 'resolve_gitlink_ref()' helper function - 2007-04-09)
and it looks like a dir separator back then.

Can I convert that in a separate topic? I think Michael even wanted to
kill all these path manipulation in refs code, which makes sense, but
I would need to audit the callers carefully before making that move.
