Research direction
Start at the implementation and tests for gert::git_tag_list(), then compare its current output with git show-ref --tags and the --dereference form. Add an optional dereference behavior that returns tag commit SHAs suitable for joining with gert::git_log(), and verify both default and opted-in results.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
gert::git_tag_list() returns the SHA1 hash of the tag, like the command git show-ref --tags.
It would be helpful to optionally return the SHA1 hash of the commit for the tag, like git show-ref --tags --dereference, which would (for example) allow joining with the results of gert::git_log().
