[PATCHv3 3/7] fast-export: Make sure we show actual ref names instead of "(null)"

The code expects a ref name to be provided in commit->util.  While there
was some code to set commit->util, it only worked in cases where there was
an unbroken chain of revisions from a ref to the relevant commit.  In
cases such as running
   git fast-export --parents master -- COPYING
commit->util would fail to be set.  The old method of setting commit->util
has been removed in favor of requesting show_source from the revision
traversal machinery (related to the "--source" option of "git log" family
of commands.)
However, this change does not fix cases like
   git fast export master~1
or
   git fast export :/arguments
since in such cases commit->util will be "master~1" or ":/arguments" while
we need the actual ref (e.g. "refs/heads/master")

Since the last series, some now-obsolete code has been removed.  Also,
the commit message now points out two cases that continue to fail with
this patch.  For the second of those cases (the :/arguments one), I'm
not sure that I even know what correct behavior would be.
