contrib/subtree: allow adding an annotated tag

cmd_add_commit() is passed FETCH_HEAD by cmd_add_repository, which
is then rev-parsed into an object name.  However, if the user is
fetching a tag rather than a branch HEAD, such as by executing:

  $ git subtree add -P oldGit https://github.com/git/git.git tags/v1.8.0

the object name refers to a tag and is never peeled, and the git
commit-tree call (line 561) slaps us in the face because it doesn't
peel tags to commits.

Because peeling a committish doesn't do anything if it's already a
commit, fix by peeling the object name before assigning it to $rev
using peel_committish() from git:git-sh-setup.sh, a pre-existing
dependency of git-subtree.
