2. how do I trash the accidentally created 2nd "baz" tag object, i. e.  
remove it from the (packed) object database? Of course, I can hack some  
script (or use a text editor) to grind this git-fast-export into shape  
and re-importing it...

OK, that worked: I traced (with git cat-file) the tree through all tagged  
tag until the first tagged commit, and hack packed-refs (or refs/tags/foo)  
to point to the commit object, and afterwards prune the dangling tag.

However, the other questions remain. I'd think git tag should dereference  
its 2nd non-option argument to a commit before laying down the tag...
