I wonder if this is a proper solution. It still does not error out when you have a tag and a branch of the same name. I kinda hoped that by 1.5.4, rewrite-commits would be finished, but it seems that nothing happened in that area after 1.5.3-rcX. It would be so much easier to have checks like this -- returning the real refname for short but unique short refnames -- in C.
