By losing "*sort = STRCMP_SORT", the version after this patch would stop clearing what is pointed by opt->value, so

	git tag --sort=v:refname --sort=refname
would no longer implement the "last one wins" semantics, no?

Am I misreading the patch? I somehow thought Peff's original was clearing the variable...
