Guess the default branch based on current namespace

resolve_ref_unsafe() can't be told to be namespace aware,
so we need to prepend the namespace beforehand.

Additionally, we need to add the RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag,
since otherwise if the commit that is pointed to exists in the root namespace,
it will opt to return that rather than the value in the namespace,
presumably preferring shorter ref names to longer ones.
