We're recomputing the prefix length on every iteration of the ref
iterator. Precompute it for another speedup when iterating over 1
million refs:
Benchmark 1: show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 100.3 ms ± 3.7 ms [User: 97.3 ms, System: 2.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 97.5 ms … 139.7 ms 1000 runs
Benchmark 2: show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 95.8 ms ± 3.4 ms [User: 92.9 ms, System: 2.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 93.0 ms … 121.9 ms 1000 runs
Summary
show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD) ran
1.05 ± 0.05 times faster than show-ref: single matching ref (revision = HEAD~)
