git branch names can contains slashes, so stripping of everything up to the last slash can break tracking branch detection. This patch introduces a bit friendlier re.sub(r'^refs/heads/', '', ...)

This change can be also pulled from github: http://github.com/che0/rbtools/tree/branches-with-slashes2
I developed a test case to pass with branch "mybranch", for which it passed. Switching test branch name to "my/branch" made it fail. Second commit which introduces slash-friendly stripping method makes it pass again.

  1. Can you add a test case for a branch with slashes?

  1. This looks fine, but I'd like to see some unit tests for it too.

Testing Done:

~  

Default upstream is origin/master, so to test this behavior we need to have branches with merge set to some other remote branch.

Then with current master, we get:

-   che@nok ~/ipcorder/opengit/rbtools/rbtools $ git checkout fffff1
-   Switched to branch 'fffff1'
-   che@nok ~/ipcorder/opengit/rbtools/rbtools $ post-review -nd
-   (...)
-   >>> git config --get branch.fffff1.merge
-   >>> git config --get branch.fffff1.remote
-   >>> git config remote.origin.url
-   >>> repository info: Path: git://github.com/reviewboard/rbtools.git, Base path: , Supports changesets: False
-   >>> git merge-base origin/fooo refs/heads/fffff1
-   (seems ok)

-  
-  
che@nok ~/ipcorder/opengit/rbtools/rbtools $ git checkout fffff/two
-  
Switched to branch 'fffff/two'
-  
che@nok ~/ipcorder/opengit/rbtools/rbtools $ post-review -nd
-  
(...)
-  
>>> git config --get branch.two.merge
-  
>>> git config --get branch.two.remote
-  
(wrong branch name...)
-  
>>> git config remote.origin.url
-  
>>> repository info: Path: git://github.com/reviewboard/rbtools.git, Base path: , Supports changesets: False
-  
>>> git merge-base origin/master refs/heads/fffff/two
-  
(ended up with origin/master instead of configured upstream branch)
-  
-  
-  

With the patch:

-   che@nok ~/ipcorder/opengit/rbtools/rbtools $ post-review -nd
-   (...)
-   >>> git config --get branch.fffff/two.merge
-   >>> git config --get branch.fffff/two.remote
-   >>> git config remote.origin.url
-   >>> repository info: Path: git://github.com/reviewboard/rbtools.git, Base path: , Supports changesets: False
-   >>> git merge-base origin/fooo refs/heads/fffff/two
-   (seems to work fine now)
