So this trivial patch removes one line of code, and makes this actually work.

However, it also makes us fail many tests that *test* that we peeled
what we fetched. However, I think the tests are wrong.

If the tag doesn't resolve into a commit, we happily output the SHA1
of the tag itself - and we say that it shouldn't be merged.

And it the tag *does* resolve into a commit, why would we output the
SHA1 of the commit? The tag should be peeled properly later when it
gets used, so peeling it here seems to be just a misfeature that makes
signed tags not work well.

So I suspect we should just apply this patch, but I didn't check
exacty what the failed tests are - except for the first one, that just
compares against a canned response (and the canned response should
just be changed). Maybe there was some reason for the peeling,
although I suspect it was just a fairly mindless case of "make it a
commit, because the merge needs the commit" - never mind that the
merge would peel it anyway.
