This tag is so old that it dates to before a change in the tag object format - in particular, before the 'tagger' line was included. Viz: $ git cat-file tag v0.99 object a3eb250f996bf5e12376ec88622c4ccaabf20ea8 type commit tag v0.99 Test-release for wider distribution. I'll make the first public RPM's etc, thus the tag. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBC0b9oF3YsRnbiHLsRAlUUAKCJEyvw8tewGFKd/A3aCd82Wi/zAgCgl7z4 GYPjO+Xio0IvuEYsrhFc2KI= =TVVN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- $ Note the lack of a 'tagger' line, unlike a more up-to-date tag: $ git cat-file tag v2.18.0 object 53f9a3e157dbbc901a02ac2c73346d375e24978c type commit tag v2.18.0 tagger Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> 1529600438 -0700 Git 2.18 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE4fA2sf7nIh/HeOzvsLXohpav5ssFAlsr2bYACgkQsLXohpav 5suqEhAAgDu2A1n9G7ik+HdKoH2VNGwDqaRu/3k8znLPR6NmcOpHqopCgaxPYN4T gH69ff+8Le8NiOYcoWaOE2WdpGGY9Gu12N65MpxYbEhehEGo7ze4T8jDNlHz7q5B XC55FKHAwqy51NtdzvqNgsptc3bASy+ThxNM5XS0GSeqz00ublquHhiGTzhkBKm2 KbexWhGWjzq0zP+wOrRIX4zU1lAOHXzjVV7G8vo3pTcg+GgK0BmiAz8zmOlef2au SYlU2LJCcQFm12j7pdDx42qCfZYM3QB0vJkHAcEdKYlcSEKRYUdOEnIQHxHwPPvB A/uogytfeExnpBd/aHA/YBKlr8FNBMZeDKGHiwxWsBK5yExxfelIFnOg27YBIxl2 zzbMnHubBqHs5luo2Yv9JmFCbmuqV6ei6qgDKn2BXtJkuXVqYI1FYuKQyO26b3cz C6hF5n3OIixL0wv1S+44QqDEc/ss8kvqosT2Ypjd56dNeZripTe3jC+bqUouHblD NGaUn+V2YGBKc3rPw1UE3WnXgqOcbyvxn8AoZIKhJveaq7z89CbcvQYpqNjGhmrp OvqSVG3NUoOKGXiMAg4/a4wx6JWTyu5SLHY269tC3cPfxQkD3br6hMsBy+AXrCwq 5yk6A3kQ2d6S9QfbWr6PGT7FI/AhG9CftFXPjpF0h9W9xbPJfkE= =ResM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- $ You can suppress this warning by using an fsck 'skiplist': 1) Add the following lines to your .git/config file: [fsck] skiplist = .git/skip 2) Add the object-id of the v0.99 tag to the skiplist file: $ echo d6602ec5194c87b0fc87103ca4d67251c76f233a >.git/skip Hope this helps.
