go-git: Malicious reference names may modify files outside the reference storage

Impact A path traversal issue in go-git could allow malicious reference names to access files outside the repository's intended reference storage. Loose references are stored under .git/. The reference name was previously used as a path without verifying that the resolved path remained within the...
