Prefer go-git to find the reference name (#633)

Walking the directory tree underneath `.git/refs` is not reliable, as it usually does not
return tags, especially for freshly cloned repos and/or tags fetched from a remote.

The go-git library provides an iterator over all git references.

This approach prefers a reference (tag, branch) from go-git, if found. If none is found,
it falls back to the previous implementation.
