Hello!

qgit reports an error from git-cat-file when run in the git repository. The error shown in a message box with the text:

Git says: fatal: git-cat-file 23ea3e201cea0deea909569e08e950a9ec2345f7: bad file

I believe qgit runs "git-cat-file -t tag" on in, but it's a commit. If I change the git-cat-file invocation in src/git_startup.cpp to use "commit" instead of "tag", qgit complains about 0918385dbd9656cab0d1d81ba7453d49bbc16250.

Maybe qgit should check the type of the object first? Or maybe there should another type for git-cat-file that would match both tag and commit?
