Actually, neither one nor two would be listed as these are lightweight
tags.  In the modified example,

  $ git tag -a -m One one v1.0
  $ git tag -a -m Two two one
  $ git tag --points-at v1.0
  one
  $ git tag --points-at one
  two

one's object is v1.0 whereas two's object is one

If you prefer, I can restore the old behavior just moving the
condition/return back below the refname print; then add "buf" qualifier
to the following fragment and at each intermediate free.

I didn't see how to get the object sha out of parse_tag_buffer() to
compare with "point_at". The inline conditions seem simple enough.

I agree and will change it.
