contrib/subtree: allow adding an annotated tag

ChemicalRascal · gitster · commit 6f1871fe0f7d · 2014-05-13T12:33:26.000-07:00
cmd_add_commit() is passed FETCH_HEAD by cmd_add_repository, which is then rev-parsed into an object name. However, if the user is fetching a tag rather than a branch HEAD, such as by executing: $ git subtree add -P oldGit https://github.com/git/git.git tags/v1.8.0 the object name refers to a tag and is never peeled, and the git commit-tree call (line 561) slaps us in the face because it doesn't peel tags to commits. Because peeling a committish doesn't do anything if it's already a commit, fix by peeling the object name before assigning it to $rev using peel_committish() from git:git-sh-setup.sh, a pre-existing dependency of git-subtree.
