Earlier version of the patch used ':' (instead of ' / ') to concatenate multiple refs pointing to the same object, then split on ':'. Character ':' was used because it cannot be part of valid ref name (as of git-check-ref-name).
Note that usually there is at most one ref pointing to given object; multiple refs are quite rare (usually when starting new branch, or just tagged a branch).
