Instead of hard-coding the offset strlen("refs/heads/") to skip
the prefix "refs/heads/" use the skip_prefix() function which
is more communicative and verifies that the string actually
starts with that prefix.

Sorry, missed a ';' in v4.

The surprising thing I discovered in the TravisCI build for v4
was that apart from the 'Documentation' build the 'Static Analysis'
build passed, with the following output,

-- <snip>
$ ci/run-static-analysis.sh
GIT_VERSION = 2.13.1.1972.g6ced3f745
     SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci

     SPATCH result: contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci.patch
     SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci
     SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/xstrdup_or_null.cocci

The command "ci/run-static-analysis.sh" exited with 0.

I guess static analysis tools make an assumption that the source
code is syntactically valid for them to work correctly. So, I guess
we should at least make sure the code 'compiles' before running
the static analysis tool even though we don't build it completely.
I'm not sure if it's a bad thing to run the static analysis on code
that isn't syntactically valid, though.
