If you're using show-ref already to get the tag tips, you can use
for-each-ref to get all tips.

But of course that'll just give you the tips. You could then use `git
cat-file --batch-check` on both ends to see what commits from the other
they report knowing about, in case they have branches that are
ahead/behind the other.
