When we pack an annotated tag ref, we write not only the
sha1 of the tag object along with the ref, but also the sha1
obtained by peeling the tag. This lets readers of the
pack-refs file know the peeled value without having to
actually load the object, speeding up upload-pack's ref
advertisement.
The writer marks a packed-refs file with peeled refs using
the "peeled" trait at the top of the file. When the reader
sees this trait, it knows that each ref is either followed
by its peeled value, or it is not an annotated tag.
However, there is a mismatch between the assumptions of the
reader and writer. The writer will only peel refs under
refs/tags, but the reader does not know this; it will assume
a ref without a peeled value must not be a tag object. Thus
an annotated tag object placed outside of the refs/tags
hierarchy will not have its peeled value printed by
upload-pack.
The simplest way to fix this is to start writing peel values
for all refs. This matches what the reader expects for both
new and old versions of git.
