git-upstream does not support using tags or sha1s for upstream revision to import from

[Darragh Bailey]

Trying to import using a tag as the revision/branch I get the following:

$ git upstream import 1.4.0
ERROR : Specified ref does not exist: '1.4.0'
CRITICAL: Invalid ref

Similarly using the SHA1 rev instead:

$ git upstream import 6d8399765e806018d006a6d3e5777a9dd139489b
ERROR : Specified ref does not exist: '6d8399765e806018d006a6d3e5777a9dd139489b'
CRITICAL: Invalid ref

It appears git-upstream applies to strict a test by explicitly checking to see if the given rev is a branch instead of just a valid revision.

    Refactor test to allow additional

    Adjust unit test checking to make way for additional tests to be added
    to the same class while ensuring can verify the resulting tree while
    different commit messages may be recorded.

    Ensure separate parser is created for each test to prevent ensure the
    'search_refs' option is isolated per test scenario as otherwise each
    scenario will append entries as it is set on the class.

    These lay the ground work to adding tests to check that git-upstream
    can work with SHA1 and tags as inputs in addition to branches.

    Allow SHA1 as reference for inputs

    Support specifying upstream and additional branches to import via
    SHA1s.

    Check for pattern character '*' in provided patterns to determine which
    to treat as patterns and which as explicit revisions.

    Include additional test function to check converting all refs to SHA1s
    as input, and an additional scenario to check passing in a relative ref
    using '~' to pick a different commit to the head of the branch.
