Although it is correct that the people who already saw the
original tag would not lose the tag object from their repository
when you publish a replacement tag, we have _always_ overwritten
the refs/tags/$tag to point at the new one, effectively losing
the original.
So I have a suspicion that I have multiple tag objects with the same
tag name (E2FSPROGS-1_26), from doing an hg conversion.  Is there an
easy way to search all of the tag objects in my git repository to see
if this is the case, so I can delete them lest they cause any
confusion/problems?
"fsck --full" should report "dangling tag".
