So, it turns out that some callers expect it to read_config().

If we're still adamant about not touching branch_get(), the
alternative is to call resolve_ref_unsafe() before the branch_get()
call in interpret_branch_name().  We'll still retain the H@{u}, but
we'll lose the 'git branch -u ram/master M'.
