So it's no longer possible to export a reporitory with a missing "tag"
entry in a tag? Maybe OK, but we have an escape hatch for it with fsck,
we don't need one here?
We do have an escape hatch for missing "tagger" (e.g. "git cat-file
tag v0.99") in tag.c::parse_tag_buffer() that is used by fsck.
But a missing "tag " gets an immediate "return -1".
