sha1_name.c: many short names can only be committish

We know that the token "$name" that appear in "$name^{commit}", "$name^4", "$name~4" etc. can only name a committish (either a commit or a tag that peels to a commit). Teach get_short_sha1() to take advantage of that knowledge when disambiguating an abbreviated SHA-1 given as an object name. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
