[PATCH 3/3] tag: don't show non-tag contents with "-n"

[Jeff King <peff@peff.net>]

When given "-n", tag will show one or more lines of the body
of an annotated tag. However, we never actually checked to
see that what we got was a tag; we might end up showing
random lines from a lightweight-tagged blob or commit.

With this patch, we'll show lines only from tag objects (but
still include non-tag objects in the listing). It might make
more sense to omit lightweight tags from the listing
entirely when "-n" is in effect. I stuck with this behavior
because it is slightly more compatible with the original
behavior.

This might be seen as a regression for people with
lightweight tags to commit, who would previously get the
subject line of the commit. The code seems to indicate that
is not expected (since it does things like parsing off
gpg signatures), but it's possible somebody has been relying
on it.

The regression comment above makes me a little nervous. Still, if we
want to handle commits, we should do so explicitly and not munge them
with parse_signature. So I think it's a step in the right direction, and
we should let it cook for a bit and see if anybody complains.
