I like the state this puts us in, but there's one catch: we're
completely changing the meaning of "check-ref-format --branch", aren't
we?
It is going from "this is how you resolve @{-1}" to "this is how you
check the validity of a potential branch name". Do we need to pick a
different name, and/or have a deprecation period?
