If `git gc` runs and `Repository` has an instance to `Rugged::Repository`, a
bug in libgit2 may cause the instance to return a stale value or a missing
branch. This change not only optimizes the branch lookup so we don't have
to iterate through every branch, but it also works around the `git gc`
issue by forcing a repository reload every time `Repository#find_branch`
is called.
