Hum, maybe we have miscommunicated because we were speaking on
different levels, I guess. :-)

By 'tag references, you meant (tag . "foo") right?  And that case is
not possible from the command-line and even I am not sure about the
use-case of passing (tag . "foo") to reference-available?.  Another
story.

Reconsidering your question, yes the case (tag . "foo") is currently
on the fast path and will stay on the fast path.

I have read "tag references" as the user is passing a Git tag.  Which
is currently managed the same way as short commit ID.

Hence my previous answer. :-)

Cool!  I will proceed.
