This "couple of extra info" could be just '^{}' suffix.  So I don't

You could simply do not strip '^{}' suffix in git_get_references()
subroutine (so for example $refs->{$id} could be "tags/v1.6.0^{}",
and not simply "tags/v1.6.0" when $id is sha-1 of a _commit_ indirectly
referenced by v1.6.0, i.e. referenced by v1.6.0 _tag_), and strip
it and make use of it in format_ref_marker():

  if ($ref =~ s/\^\{\}$//) {
     # $ref is a tag
  } else {
     # $ref points directly to object
  }

I've actually changed the format of $refs, making the values into
arrays whose first value is the name and the other is the ^{} marker,
if present. Patch incoming.

P.S. I have re-added git mailing list to Cc:.

Oops, didn't realized I had forgotten it.
