My original main issue was simply that "git tag --contains" and "git
branch --contains" was either (a) incorrect, or (b) slower than
popping up gitk and pulling the information out of the GUI.  The
reason for (b) is because of gitk.cache.

With "original issue" I actually meant the case that caused us to add
the "slop" commit (7d004199d1). But I was too lazy to try to find the
archives from March 2008..
