If the caller supplies --tags they want the lightweight, unannotated
tags to be searched for a match. If a lightweight tag is closer
in the history, it should be matched, even if an annotated tag is
reachable further back in the commit chain.
The same applies with --all when matching any other type of ref.

This come out of the discussions earlier last week, where folks
were confused about the meaning of --tags and wanted to see it
behave as they expected, which was to match the nearest tag,
no matter its "type".
The code is unchanged from what I sent out before, but now it has
updated test vectors and a commit message.
Thoughts?
