I commented it out, and the checkout succeeded. If I then run "git
fsck", I get lots of "error in tag foo: missingEmail" errors, and an
error exit code. I guess this is just a minor annoyance?
More like a major annoyance, I'm afraid. It means that the findutils
repository is slightly incompatible with Git and needs to be fixed on
Savannah. (If memory serves, this is due to a bug in older Git.) Fixing
a repository is not something one does lightly since it involves
changing history.
