[PATCH v2 2/2] ref-filter: 'contents:trailers' show error if `:` is missing

["Hariom Verma via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Hariom Verma <hariom18599@gmail.com>

The 'contents' atom does not show any error if used with 'trailers'
atom and semicolon is missing before trailers arguments.

e.g %(contents:trailersonly) works, while it shouldn't.

It is definitely not an expected behavior.

Let's fix this bug.
