No worries.

If it fails we'll use source_ref->name, so it won't be NULL...

Which means that this would be a bug, since it's not handling the case
where the source doesn't start with refs/heads/*.

I.e. it's the same as doing it this way (on top of this v2), which
perhaps is a clearer way to express the same idea. What do you think?
