After the posted two patches "refs/" is shown only in StGIT bases. Currently
qgit uses 'git show-ref -d' to retrieve ref list and "ref/" prefix is
already in git-show-ref output,
so as a general rule I would try to avoid 'massaging' git output as
much as is possible to have more chances thing do not break after a
git behaviour change.

It is difficult now to say it's (and will be) true that refs are only
under "refs/". Perhaps in the future someone came up with an idea to
use "refs_of_some_kind/" directory and this would break stuff.

So last line is: if git-show-ref prints this info, perhaps it's better to keep.
