I'd suggest one of two variants:
1) 'M' SP <mode> SP <dataref> SP <path> LF
where <dataref> would be extended to understand the
{tag-id|commit-id|tree-id}:path notation git-ref-parse understands plus
mark:path where mark points to commit.
2) 'C' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF
where again <dataref> can be {tag-id|commit-id|tree-id|mark}:path -- or
just path which implies current head.
