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.

We do? on what? That 'notemodify' should work on <committish> + <tag 
object>? Or that 'notemodify' should work on <any object>?
