[PATCH - maint review] name-rev: do not omit leading components of ref name.

From
Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

In a repository with mainto/1.0 (to keep maintaining the 1.0.X series) and fixo/1.0 (to keep fixes that apply to both 1.0.X series and upwards) branches, "git-name-rev mainto/1.0" answered just "1.0" making things ambiguous. Show refnames unambiguously like show-branch does.
