Complete the Git commands: Git name-rev: Find Symbolic Names for Commits
Create a disposable repository with at least three commits, a branch, and a tag. Then run the following workflow. Record which symbolic name Git chooses for `HEAD~1`, compare branch-based naming with `--tags`, restrict the candidates with `--refs`, and finally annotate a line containing the current commit ID. Expected learning outcome: you can explain why the reported name depends on the candidate refs, and you can distinguish a symbolic description from an actual ref stored in the repository.
