The tagger field was introduced mid July 2005; any repository
with a tag object older than that would now get non-zero exit
from fsck.

This won't practically be problem in newer repositories, but it
is somewhat annoying.  Perhaps do this only under the new -v
option to git-fsck, say "warning" not "error", and not exit with
non-zero because of this?
