we could also introduce "<tree-ish>/<path>" for absolute path entries.

When you name the tree-ish with usual "branch name", where does
the branch name end and pathname start?  What happens when there
is an ambiguity, and how costly to detect such an ambiguity to
begin with?

well, if you know that it starts with a tree-ish there is no
ambiguity [...]

Wrong. For example, mw/submodules~10 _is_ a tree-ish (if you have a branch 
named "mw/submodules").

so what?

a better argument is that one can have both refs/tags/a and
refs/heads/a/b.

So just forget my suggestion...
