Minor nitpick: this empty line here is not necessary. But I think that Junio can remove it when applying.

Hmmm... should we pass it as argument, or use $action in place of $current? Each solution has its advantages and disadvantages. Current solution has the advantage of avoiding using global variables, solution using $action has the (supposed) advantage of automatically detecting current action.

I would probably write
  +	my $current) = shift;
  +	my @ref_views = qw(tags heads);
but it makes no difference, and this style is also good.

Nice API.  I like it.
