I think the patch makes sense and in line with what we already
discussed in the thread.

I however wonder if the above implies it may make sense to add this
on top?  Perhaps it is not worth it, because it makes a difference
only to a repository with annotated tags outside refs/tags hierarchy
and still has the packed-refs file that was created with an older
version of Git, so we can just tell "repack with new Git" to users
with such a repository.
