OK, fair enough. ;P

But I think the lesson to be learned is that there is a difference
between arbitrary ref lookup (which you might use with log, show, diff,
or even as the branching-off point for branch) and specialized commands
which assume you are working in some part of the ref hierarchy (heads,
tags, or even remotes).
