[PATCH 1/2] tag: factor out get_tagged_oid()

From
René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de>
Date
Sep 5, 2019, 19:55 UTC
Message-ID
<1385c954-d9ef-7ef6-6185-0dad885531ec@web.de>

Add a function for accessing the ID of the object referenced by a tag safely, i.e. without causing a segfault when encountering a broken tag where ->tagged is NULL.
