[PATCH 3/6] rebase -i: emphasize that 'update-ref' expects a fully-qualified ref

The argument of the 'update-ref' instruction is treated as a fully qualified ref, and there is no DWIMery to interpret 'update-ref feature' to create/update the branch named "feature", i.e. the ref "refs/heads/feature". Update the help text appended to the todo list to make this clearer.
