There are code paths which can attempt to use a reference name
which hasn't been validated yet. This patch prevents such issues.

In particular, it catches invalid reference names passed to 'got ref -l'.
This will also be needed to validate reference names passed to a
future 'gotadmin pack' command which I am working on.

ok?
