Just had a quick look at my patches to gitstat and the linux kernel. There is
one tag in there with no commit (as mentioned by Linus):

[paul@penguin linux-2.6.git]$ git-cat-file tag
5dc01c595e6c6ec9ccda4f6f69c131c0dd945f8c
object c39ae07f393806ccf406ef966e9a15afc43cc36a
type tree
tag v2.6.11-tree

This is the 2.6.11 tree object.

NOTE! There's no commit for this, since it happened before I started with git.
Eventually we'll import some sort of history, and that should tie this tree
object up to a real commit. In the meantime, this acts as an anchor point for
doing diffs etc under git.

Doing a git-cat-file commit c39ae07f393806ccf406ef966e9a15afc43cc36a gives
(obviously):

[paul@penguin linux-2.6.git]$ git-cat-file commit
c39ae07f393806ccf406ef966e9a15afc43cc36a
fatal: git-cat-file c39ae07f393806ccf406ef966e9a15afc43cc36a: bad file

Several of the kernel tags (from v2.6.11-tree upto v2.6.13-rc3) have no tagger.

The new patch (attached) skips the not so valid tags (like v2.6.11-tree). The
screenshot 'before' shows the current state and 'after' with my patches.

Cheers,

Paul.
