I think René meant this:

     /* just for side effects */
     skip_prefix(name, "refs/heads/", &name) ||
     skip_prefix(name, "refs/tags/", &name) ||
     skip_prefix(name, "refs/remotes/", &name);

     return name;

which still short-sircuits, even though I do think it looks
strange; "correct but strange".
