Here is what I mean by sorting during for_each_abbrev(). This seems to work for
me, so I don't know what the issue is with this one-pass approach.
Thanks,

Change the output emitted when an ambiguous object is encountered so
that we show tags first, then commits, followed by trees, and finally
blobs. Within each type we show objects in hashcmp() order. Before
this change the objects were only ordered by hashcmp().
The reason for doing this is that the output looks better as a result,
e.g. the v2.17.0 tag before this change on "git show e8f2" would
display:
hint: The candidates are:
hint: e8f2093055 tree
hint: e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name
hint: e8f21d02f7 blob
hint: e8f21d577c blob
hint: e8f25a3a50 tree
hint: e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src
hint: e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0
hint: e8f2867228 blob
hint: e8f28d537c tree
hint: e8f2a35526 blob
hint: e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries
hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree
Now we'll instead show:
hint: e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0
hint: e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name
hint: e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src
hint: e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries
hint: e8f2093055 tree
hint: e8f25a3a50 tree
hint: e8f28d537c tree
hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree
hint: e8f21d02f7 blob
hint: e8f21d577c blob
hint: e8f2867228 blob
hint: e8f2a35526 blob
Since we show the commit data in the output that's nicely aligned once
we sort by object type. The decision to show tags before commits is
pretty arbitrary. I don't want to order by object_type since there
tags come last after blobs, which doesn't make sense if we want to
show the most important things first.
I could display them after commits, but it's much less likely that
we'll display a tag, so if there is one it makes sense to show it
prominently at the top.
