Subject: [PATCH 2/4] builtin-fast-export.c: turn error into warning
Message-ID: <1238404137-6693-2-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1238404137-6693-2-git-send-email-kusmabite%40gmail.com

```
fast-import doesn't have a syntax to support tree-objects (and some other
object-types), so fast-export shouldn't handle them. However, aborting the
operation is a bit drastic. This patch turns the error into a warning instead.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] builtin-fast-export.c: fix crash on tagged trees
Message-ID: <1238404137-6693-3-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com>

```
If a tag object points to a tree (or another unhandled type), the commit-
pointer is left uninitialized and later dereferenced. This patch adds a default
case to the switch that issues a warning and skips the object.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] builtin-fast-export.c: handle nested tags
Message-ID: <1238404137-6693-4-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1238404137-6693-4-git-send-email-kusmabite%40gmail.com
In-Reply-To: <1238404137-6693-3-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com>

```
When tags that points to tags are passed to fast-export, an error saying
"Tag [TAGNAME] points nowhere?". This fix calls parse_object() on the object
before referencing it's tag, to ensure the tag-info is fully initialized. In
addition, it inserts a comment to point out where nested tags are handled. This
is consistent with the comment for signed tags.
