When fsck_tag() identifies a problem with the commit, it should try to make it possible to continue checking the commit object, in case the user wants to demote the detected errors to mere warnings. Just like fsck_commit(), there are certain problems that could hide other issues with the same tag object. For example, if the 'type' line is not encountered in the correct position, the 'tag' line – if there is any – would not be handled at all.
