[PATCH] for-each-ref: fix objectname:short bug

When objectname:short was introduced, it forgot to copy the result of find_unique_abbrev. Because the result of find_unique_abbrev is a pointer to static buffer, this resulted in the same value being substituted in for each ref.

Yuck. I can't believe neither Michael nor I noticed this on first review.

Your fix looks correct. It obviously leaks, but then so does 99% of the rest of for-each-ref.
