As a general note the cloud tags code that's there has a whole slew of
problems, including a pretty trivial way to crash gitweb entirely if the
tags file is malformed in any way to what it's expecting.
I've said it before, I'd rather see that code reverted or completely
overhauled, and as far as I know repo.or.cz is the only place even using
the code at all.
I also think I reported this particular error a couple of years ago
(with the file being malformed and causing all kinds of problems). The
fact that the tags don't follow the repository when it's cloned more or
less makes this entire feature a giant PITA, couple that with no good
documentation on how to create the tag files (I think the file itself
needs to have filename of tag, and *ONLY* contain 1 for it's contains
for it to work)
