This ensures the return value is consistent if the source and/or
branch do not exist.

Partially addresses #47424.

If a merge request was created with a branch name that also matched a tag name,
we'd generate a comparison to or from the tag respectively, rather than the
branch. Merging would still use the branch, of course.

To avoid this, ensure that when we get the branch heads, we prepend the
reference prefix for branches, which will ensure that we generate the correct
comparison.

We merge repository checks inside it so we don't have to
check it on the call site, and we could also load the commit
for the caller. This greatly reduce code duplication.
