We recently hit a similar unintended limitation that we regret in the
fast-import language, didn't we?
I don't know. Must have slipped past my mailbox.
I remember something being raised, but I can't remember exactly
what it was either.
Exporting a tag that points at a non commit was what I had in mind.
tag, there might be arguments for tagging trees, e.g. so you can
export the linux kernel repository with `git fast-export` and reload
it with fast-import. But that's unrelated to this change.
See above about notes.
I think we are in agreement then. Good.
