Use "git show-ref --dereference" instead of "git peek-remote $projectroot/project" in git_get_references. git-show-ref is faster than git-peek-remote (40ms vs 56ms user+sys for git.git repository); even faster is reading info/refs file (if it exists), but the information in info/refs can be stale; that and the fact that info/refs is meant for dumb protocol transports, not for gitweb. git-show-ref is available since v1.4.4; the output format is slightly different than git-peek-remote output format. While at it make git_get_references return hash in list context, and reference to hash (as it used to do) in scalar and void contexts.
