By itself, the patch is useless. Then it shouldn't be there. It seems that you do not place the cuts between patches at the _conceptual_ layer. Therefore, they seem intrusive and often the meaning evades me. So, if I understood the purpose of this patch series correctly, namely to use the same verification routines both for creation as for validation of tags, you could have - moved one function into the library (the stricter one), saying "move this_function() into libgit.a to make it usable from git-bla" in the commit body, - used that from the other program, removing the now-unused function, - and then changed the behaviour to be more chatty or some such. As it is, you have a mix of conceptually different changes in almost every patch, and some changes that conceptually belong into the same patch, are not. Be that as may, I think it is not a good change to reuse the same function like you did, exactly because one version _should_ be more forgiving than the other.
