Fixes #775
Fixes #777
Before, each time we got a new reference, we were checking if it
pointed to a commit. This incurred in a performance penalty and
an increase of 2x in memory usage and 4x in allocations, as more
objects were being read from the repository.
Instead, now we use the already present resolveCommit to check it
the moment we get the object, since we have to get it anyway.
This way, we have the exact same behaviour without having any
performance penalty or memory usage increase.
