These two verbose messages hardcoded the English plural form
("tags"/"commits") inside _(), which is wrong both grammatically
(e.g. "found 1 tags") and for i18n, since other languages have
different plural rules than English.
Switch both to Q_() so gettext picks the correct singular/plural
form based on the count.
