Merge branch 'dt/cat-file-batch-ambiguous'
"git cat-file --batch" reported a dangling symbolic link by
mistake, when it wanted to report that a given name is ambiguous.
* dt/cat-file-batch-ambiguous:
t1512: test ambiguous cat-file --batch and --batch-output
Do not print 'dangling' for cat-file in case of ambiguity
