Improve the types of refspecs git-absorb knows how to parse that are
given via the '--base' flag.
This fixes the following:
# create an annotated tag
$ git tag -a 'annotated-tag' -m 'My annotated tag description'
# make + stage some changes
(...)
# try to absorb the changes
$ git absorb --base annotated-tag
According to the Git docs:
> Git supports two types of tags: lightweight and annotated.
>
> A lightweight tag is very much like a branch that doesn't
> change-it's just a pointer to a specific commit.
>
> Annotated tags, however, are stored as full objects in the Git
> database.
This meant that when passing an annotated tag via '--base', calling
git2::Repository::find_commit would fail since the given object would
be of the incorrect type:
> the requested type does not match the type in the ODB
However, eventually if we keep unpeeling, we would encounter the
corresponding commit.
Use git2::Object::peel_to_commit instead of simply peeling once
via 'find_commit' to ensure that peeling is performed recursively
until a commit is found.
Add a test script that modifies a text file using 'ed' to test
annotated commits provided via '--base':
1. Initialize a git repository
2. Create some commits
3. Tag an annotated commit
4. Make some changes on top of the annotated tag that commute
5. Try to absorb using '--base annotated-tag'
Note: The path to 'git-absorb' is taken via '${1}' so we can point to
locally built versions without needing to add additional directories to
our ${PATH}.
