Actually, there is another bug nearby.

If you do:

	git bundle create v2.6-20-v2.6.22.bndl v2.6.20..v2.6.22

the bundle records that it requires v2.6.20^0 commit (correct)
and gives you tag v2.6.22 (incorrect); the bug is that the
object it lists in fact is the commit v2.6.22^0, not the tag.

This is because the revision range operation .. is always about
set of commits, but the code near where my patch touches does
not validate that the sha1 value obtained from dwim_ref()
against the commit object name e->item->sha1 before placing the
head information in the commit.

The attached patch attempts to fix this problem.
