Strip an annotated tag of its tagger header and verify it's ignored
correctly in all cases, as fixed in commit e2a81276e8 (ref-filter:
initialize empty name or email fields, 2019-08-19).

I am inclined to squash this test part of the update into the said
commit; you'd lose one commit count, but hopefully you do not mind?

My motivation for doing so is that it would allow us to lose the "as
fixed in commit X" comment in a log message, which in turn would
mean that the code-fix patch can later be rebased safely without
having to remember that this one needs to be adjusted ("git rebase"
does not do such a rewrite for us, and I personally do not think
"git rebase" should do such a rewrite silently, as I cannot quantify
the risk of false positives).

Of course.  Might get one commit back if you pick it into maint :)

Actually you won't; I generally do not cherry-pick, even though I
merge down relevant fixes to older maintenance tracks.
