Thanks, this fills out the details from the cover letter a bit better.

I think this parenthetical isn't quite right. We never change the value
of warn_on_object_refname_ambiguity based on user config. It's just that
if warn_ambiguous_refs is off, we do not even bother looking at the
object_refname variant.

So we'd never expect to see anything except "1" in our save_warning
variable. Doing a save/restore is just about code hygiene and
maintainability.

Other than that minor nit, this whole thing looks good to me.
