[PATCH] peel_onion(): add support for <rev>^{tag}

From: Richard Hansen <rhansen@bbn.com>
Date: Jun 19, 2013, 01:39 UTC
Message-ID: <1371605946-32565-1-git-send-email-rhansen@bbn.com>

gitrevisions(7) implies that <rev>^{tag} should work, but before now it did not:

    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.3.1^{tag}
    fatal: Needed a single revision

This commit fixes the omission:

    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.3.1^{tag}
    4bc068950abec778a02ebf3ee73cf0735affabb4

Other object type names work as expected:

    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.3.1^{commit}
    362de916c06521205276acb7f51c99f47db94727
    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.3.1^{tree}
    c1fef48675edd74e9af19405339e8bdaebd56b0c
    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.3.1^{blob}
    error: v1.8.3.1^{blob}: expected blob type, but the object dereferences to tree type
    fatal: Needed a single revision

Note that <rev>^{tag} is not the same as <rev>^{object} when <rev> is not a tag:

    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.3.1^{}^{object}
    362de916c06521205276acb7f51c99f47db94727
    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.3.1^{}^{tag}
    error: v1.8.3.1^{}^{tag}: expected tag type, but the object dereferences to tree type
    fatal: Needed a single revision
