Two random thoughts:

* The commit_only flag is only one thing you may "know" about the
  parsing, as you state above.  E.g., we may know the distance from a
  certain tag.  Given this, wouldn't it be cleaner to patch a struct
  things_we_know into the call chain instead of only a flag?

* The treeish:path syntax also "knows" that the left side must be or
  peel to a tree, so it makes no sense to go looking for a blob.

Both good.  I take it to mean that we found a volunteer to take the
ownership of the second idea to build on top of the series ;-)

Does the idea come with round tuits included? :-)
