core.warnAmbiguousRefs is used to select strict mode for the abbreviation for the "refname:short" format.

In strict mode, the abbreviated ref will never trigger the 'warn_ambiguous_refs' warning. I.e. for these refs:

  refs/heads/xyzzy
  refs/tags/xyzzy
the abbreviated forms are:
  heads/xyzzy
  tags/xyzzy
