Hi, Tags created with ancient versions of git have no tagger. The udev repo has such tags, for example: $ git cat-file tag 4ea98ca6db3b84f5bc16eac8574e5c209ec823ce object face198a5f21027fefe796dc01e19e349a2d36ce type commit tag 062 fast-export will fail on these repos. From IRC: 20:05 < Keybuk> vmiklos: exactly the same error with 1.6.0.5 20:07 < Keybuk> $ git fast-export --signed-tag=strip --all 20:07 < Keybuk> fatal: No tagger for tag 4ea98ca6db3b84f5bc16eac8574e5c209ec823ce I think it would be nice to handle the situation better than just die(). What about a --force option that would fake the tagger in case the tag points to a commmit and use the commiter from there? I'm willing to work on this, but I thought it's better to discuss the right solution for the problem first. Thanks.
