In the discussion that followed the first proof-of-concept of 'notes',
I argued that the "tag" header is _really_ only needed for
signed tag objects (although we want it for annotated tags as well),
and that it doesn't make sense to specify a tag name for unnamed 'note'
objects.
If the "tag" line remains mandatory, I'll have to construct an
artificial name for unnamed 'notes'...
