How to handle ambiguous refname

[elijahmorg]

I am working on merging multiple long lived repos together.

Unfortunately in many places they have a branch name and tag with the same name. This causes this warning/error to be thrown

warning: refname 'reponame/branchname' is ambiguous.
fails here2?
warning: refname 'reponame/branchanme' is ambiguous.
fatal: sha1commithash is not a valid 'commit' object

The the fails here2? print comes after this line.
https://github.com/hraban/tomono/blob/master/tomono#L73

Is there a programmatic way to handle this?

I started looking at this and trying to use "refs/heads/" in order to use the fully qualified branch name, but I don't understand this well enough yet to get that to work.

Close--it's refs/remotes/...

The updated script worked! Many thanks.
