wayneeseguin/rvm — Issue #793: Installing named Ruby gets unexpected ruby version

Here are the results of our rvm debug and rvm --trace: https://gist.github.com/1946257

We were trying to install a named ruby using this command:

rvm install ruby-1.8.7-p352-shogun

and saw that it was actually trying to install `ruby-1.8.7-shogun`. We experimented with different combinations and it seems that a ruby "name" starting with `sh` will exhibit this behavior.

Looking at the trace, it seems to us that starting the ruby name with `sh` cancels out the patch level, and sees the `sh` as the sha instead.
