Hi,
I stumbled on Debian bug report [1], and I can reproduce the bug.
In global config (~/.gitconfig), I set:
``` [tag] sort = creatordate ```
When I run `git tag -h` inside a Git repository (such as git.git), instead of usage summary, I got:
``` fatal: not a git repository, but the field 'creatordate' requires access to object data ```
But plain `git tag` works fine.
This bug occurs on v2.33.0 as well as version in the original bug report (v2.26.0-rc2) and v2.25.1.
