archive: re-allow HEAD:Documentation on a remote invocation

The tightening done in (ee27ca4a: archive: don't let remote clients get unreachable commits, 2011-11-17) went too far and disallowed HEAD:Documentation as it would try to find "HEAD:Documentation" as a ref. Only DWIM the "HEAD" part to see if it exists as a ref. Once we're sure that we've been given a valid ref, we follow the normal code path. This still disallows attempts to access commits which are not branch tips. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <cmn@elego.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
