Rename an existing reference
This method works for both direct and symbolic references. The new name will be checked for validity and may be modified into a normalized form.
The given git_reference will be updated in place.
The reference will be immediately renamed in-memory and on disk.
If the force
flag is not enabled, and there's already
a reference with the given name, the renaming will fail.
IMPORTANT: The user needs to write a proper reflog entry if the reflog is enabled for the repository. We only rename the reflog if it exists.
