For this particular one, there is no need for version 2.
My current wip does:
SHA-1 SP name LF
SHA-1 SP SP name^{} LF
the latter of which is ignored by code in the wild and the new
code can take advantage of (and fall back the usual deref_tag
when it is not available).
I need to rebase it on top of a minor update to refs.c before
pushing it out.
