Because the point of show-refs was not to replace it only for
the local case.

Also I do not think you would want "ref^{}" style dereferencing
ls-remotes does for gitweb anyway.
What gitweb might want is "what type of object is this tag
pointing at" and "what is the object pointed at by this tag"
(both used on "Tags" list). I think show-refs specification
allows you to do that inexpensively.

I did not do them because these enhancements are not needed to
unblock you from optimizing git_get_* calls in gitweb. These
enhancement can come later as long as the initial syntax is
simple, clean and extensible enough, which I think it is.
