That's why I asked. I think it's a reasonable assumption that in most cases the tagger and the committer of the tagged commit is the same. So in case the tagger info is missing and we tag a commit, we could fake that info on export.

Obviously this should not be the default, but I think such a mode would be useful in real-life.
