Re: [PATCH] cg-fetch will now retrieve commits related to tags if missing.

You are saying:
        if "$tagid" is already commit then continue;
        if "$tagid" dereferences to a commit and if you have it
        then continue

If that is the case, then this might be more efficient.

        GIT_DIR=../.. git-rev-parse --verify "$tagid^0" >/dev/null 2>&1 && continue

Note however that git-rev-parse is lazy and won't check that the
commit is there. I have to call git-cat-file and check whether it
succeeds to know if we have the object.
