Wait, what?
$ git name-rev 8af060
8af060 tags/v1.8.3^0
Isn't this a failure specific to --stdin?

Wait, what is name-rev?
Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions
given in any format parsable by git rev-parse.
It is meant to name _revisions_ (aka. commits): in that context, what
sense does it make to distinguish between tags/v1.8.3 and
tags/v1.8.3^0?
