object-name: fix resolution of object names containing curly braces
Given a branch name of 'foo{bar', commands like git cat-file -p foo{bar:README.md should succeed (assuming that branch had a README.md file, of course). However, the change in cce91a2 (Change 'master@noon' syntax to 'master@{noon}'., 2006-05-19) presumed that curly braces would always come after an '@' or '^' and be paired, causing e.g. 'foo{bar:README.md' to entirely miss the ':' and assume there's no object being referenced. In short, git would report: fatal: Not a valid object name foo{bar:README.md Change the parsing to only make the assumption of paired curly braces immediately after either a '@' or '^' character appears. Add tests for this, as well as for a few other test cases that initial versions of this patch broke: * 'foo@@{...}' * 'foo^{/${SEARCH_TEXT_WITH_COLON}}:${PATH}' Note that we'd prefer duplicating the special logic for "@^" characters here, because if get_oid_basic() or interpret_nth_prior_checkout() or get_oid_basic() or similar gain extra methods of using curly braces, then the logic in get_oid_with_context_1() would need to be updated as well. But it's not clear how to refactor all of these to have a simple common callpoint with the specialized logic.
