If `$reference` does not match the tag we want to continue and
eventually return successfully from this hook. But:

    $ while read foo; do test "$foo" = bar && echo match; done < <(echo bar)
    match
    $ while read foo; do test "$foo" = bar && echo match; done < <(echo foo)
    $ echo $?
    1

So with the proposed change we'd now exit the hook with an error code
instead of returning successfully.
