You can make (my) fsck shut up with something like\n\n\trefs=.git/refs/*/*\n\tgit-fsck-cache $refs\n\nbut that assumes that cogito has been updated to the newer fsck that \nunderstands to follow tags (not just parse them, but also add the \"tag \nrefers to object xxx\" info to its internal tree of trust). I don't think \nthat has happened yet.\n\nIn the meantime, just ignore it. \n\n\t\tLinus\n"}]}
