Description

I decided to try 1.20.0-rc0 (had been using 1.19.3) and noticed what I believe to be a regression. When using ${{ gitea.ref_name }} in my actions to get the branch name, I'm now getting something like ref/heads/main instead of just main. Per the documentation and prior behaviour, I believe it should only be returning the name.

I have not tried fixing the issue myself, but I think the issue is that it is being set to refName.String() instead of refName.ShortName() in routers/api/actions/runner/utils.go.

The fix does appear to be that simple. I've built and tested with that simple refName.ShortName() fix I referred to and it seems to work fine on my end.
