Thunderbird turned $arg _hat_ 0 into $arg _superscript_ 0, which became $arg0 when I copy/pasted. And I didn't catch it. Again, apologies.
I think this is the intuitive behavior, prefer branch over tag. though I think a warning or refusal to switch would be better (but more complicated, and I don't know how to do it).
A quick run through of some other porcelain commands shows they prefer tag: git log git show git diff
