Should we instead make git-mktag more lenient (possibly with a
command-line option to reduce accidental omissions)?

That sounds sensible. Thanks for injecting a dose of sanity.

Indeed. I'll add a --allow-missing-tagger option (suggestions for a
snappier name accepted!) and pass it unconditionally from the filter-
branch script.

I think that name is the right amount of snappy. It's not meant to be
used very often. :)
