My first reaction on reading the patch was "maybe it would be safer to
put the tags case after 'branches', so that the behavior in the
presense of ambiguity would stay the same as with the old case", but
thinking it through I think it's more important to be consistent with
the other lookups, which all prefer tags over branches when ambiguous.

So Ack, patch looks sane to me, and clearly makes it easier to fetch
tags individually.
