Add the options `:dir` and `:base` to the %(refname) atom. The `:dir` option gives the directory (the part after $GIT_DIR/) of the ref without the refname. The `:base` option gives the base directory of the given ref (i.e. the directory following $GIT_DIR/refs/).

Add tests and documentation for the same.
