I think:
git tag --list -n 100
is similarly confusing now. It's really the optional-argument thing that
is misleading, though I suppose silently converting the extra argument
into a filter does add an extra helping of confusion (most other
programs would complain "100 is not a rev" or something, but git-tag
just produces no output).
As I said in the other patch, I could take or leave this one for now,
but I think I'd lean towards "leave".

The patch itself looks fine.
