I wonder why this is not "match_refname", in other words, what the
significance of "as path" part of the name? If you later are going
to introuce match_name_as_something_else() and that name may not be
a refname, then this naming is perfectly sane. If such a function
you will later introduce will still deal with names that are only
refnames, then match_refname_as_path() would be sensible. Otherwise
this name seems overly long (i.e. "as_path" may not be adding value)
while not being desctiptive enough (i.e. is meant to be limited to
refnames but just says "name").
Just being curious.

The comment still is a good reminder for those who will later touch
this grab_single_ref() function to make them think twice.
Thanks.
