describe: make own copy of refname

Do not retain a reference to the refname passed to the each_ref_fn callback get_name(), because there is no guarantee of the lifetimes of these names. Instead, make a local copy when needed. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
