Notes (series):
    I duplicated this message (this isn’t obvious in the diff):
    
        fprintf(stderr,
                _("The tag message has been left in %s\n"),
                path);
    
    Should this be factored into a static function instead?
    
    § Changes from previous round
    
    Squash (combine) the update to `tag.c` with the test so that the fix and
    the regression test is added in one step.
    
    This makes more sense than what I was going for since the test suite
    would fail on patch 2/3 of the previous round.
