git error in tag ...: unterminated header

[Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>]

Hi all,

it turns out that recent versions of git (i. e. git version 2.2.0 or
later, resp. anything which includes commit 4d0d8975 "Make sure
fsck_commit_buffer() does not run out of the buffer") throws errors on
our git repository  git://git.denx.de/u-boot:

-> git fsck --full
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error in tag eb394f56db3e05d00891d6dc36a00df0025cf255: unterminated header
error in tag 9bf86baaa3b35b25baa2d664e2f7f6cafad689ee: unterminated header
error in tag c7071e6d645a8e13adb0d4cea2caad27213fa62f: unterminated header
Checking objects: 100% (328644/328644), done.
Checking connectivity: 325719, done.

Apparently for some reason the tags  LABEL_2006_03_12_0025,
LABEL_2006_04_18_1106, and LABEL_2006_05_19_1133 are missing newlines,
which was undetected so far, but now is raised as an error.

Question is: how can we fix that?

Is there a tool to "auto-repair" such kind of errors?

If not, would it be be a harmless thing to just delete and recreate
the same tags (referring to the same commits)?  Or can anybody see any
problems tha might be caused by such a tag re-creation?  I mean, it is
not like a rebase of the repository or something like that?  Right?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
