Er, is this C? :)

I think the general idea of an option to check the tag-name is a good
one. But there are some corner cases to think about:

  1. What name are we comparing against? Presumably it comes from the
     name the user gave us that resolved to the tag object. We would
     want to shorten "refs/tags/v1.4" to just "v1.4", I would think.

     Would a user ever want to pass a different tagname?

  2. What do we do for non-annotated tags? Is it always a failure?
