Yeah, I think using read_ref_full() with verify_tag() changes can
solve this BUG:
$ git.fix tag --verify --format='verify: %(refname) %(symref)' annotated symref
verify: refs/tags/annotated
verify: refs/tags/symref refs/tags/annotated

We can modify get_oid() --> read_ref_full() in cmd_verify_tag()...
Yes, the inconsistency between cmd_verify_tag() and verify_tag() makes
me feel very strange.

This is indeed a sad thing: A bug becomes a feature.

Doesn't this make things more complicated? Those callers of git for-each-ref,
wouldn't our changes like this destroy them?

Eh, I think we may need other solutions.
