Re: [PATCHv2] tag: add --points-at list option

I think the following would show the pointed at tag too.
  $ git tag my-v1.7.9 v1.7.9
  $ ./git-tag -l --points-at v1.7.9
  my-v1.7.9
  v1.7.9

vs.

  $ ./git-tag -l --points-at v1.7.9
  my-v1.7.9

I found that I had to filter matching refnames.

Ah, so you are trying _not_ to show lightweight tags (I thought you
meant you also wanted to show them)? But I still don't see why the code
I posted before wouldn't work in that case. The "object" field of v1.7.9
is not the sha1 of the v1.7.9 tag object, but rather some commit, so it
would not match.

I think he is trying to avoid saying "v1.7.9 points at itself", and wants
to know not just the value of $(rev-parse v1.7.9) but the refname.
