Let's put the new "*tagname, *tagname_end" on its own line, the current
convention is to not conflate unrelated variable declarations on the
same line (as e.g. the existing "message" and "tagger" does.

So it's no longer possible to export a reporitory with a missing "tag"
entry in a tag? Maybe OK, but we have an escape hatch for it with fsck,
we don't need one here?

In any case a test for it would be good to have.

Would be more readable IMO to have a temporary variable for that
"tagname_end - tagname", then just cast that and use it here.

and here.

Skip this whole (stylistically incorrect, should have {}) and just
initialize it to NULL when you declare the variable?
