On Windows, I observe a failure of the test case 'git branch `--sort` option' introduced by aedcb7dc (branch.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs). The reason is that the resulting order generated by qsort is unspecified for entries that compare equal. In fact, the test case sorts 4 entries where there are only 2 different values.

To achieve a deterministic order, perhaps cmp_ref_sorting() should fall back to alphabetic comparison if the other criterion (when used) compares equal?
