This is a port from v4 branch
Fixes #657
Prior to this, it would fail if the 2nd SHA wasn't in the local repo. Now it doesn't care what the local SHA for rev is, it only cares what is checked out at HEAD.
Also deref tags on ls-remote
The short story:
ls-remote
for a tag gets us the SHA of the tag, butrev-parse HEAD
gets us the SHA of the commit to which that tag is attached. Those are never equal, so we detect "update needed" every loop.Now we ask
ls-remote
for the rev and the dereferenced rev. If that rev is a branch, the deref does nothing. If that rev is a tag it produces both results. ls-remote does its own sort, so the deref (if found) comes after the non-deref. This means that, in both cases, the last line is the one we want.
