Support references other than commit has

This enables support for flexible references, such as:
HEAD, branch, tag, heads/branch, refs/heads/branch, refs/tags/tag,
refs/remotes/origin/branch, refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, tilde and caret
(HEAD~1, master~^, tag~2, ref/heads/master~1, ...), selection by text
(HEAD^{/fix nasty bug}), hash (prefix and full).
