Minor nitpick: this empty line here is not necessary.  But I think
that Junio can remove it when applying.

Hmmm... should we pass it as argument, or use $action in place of
$current?  Each solution has its advantages and disadvantages.  Current
solution has the advantage of avoiding using global variables, solution
using $action has the (supposed) advantage of automatically detecting
current action.

I would probably write

  +	my $current) = shift;
  +	my @ref_views = qw(tags heads);

but it makes no difference, and this style is also good.

Nice API.  I like it.
