git repo has broken tags
there is a flaw in the libtasn1 git repository:

4 dkg@alice:~/src/gnutls/libtasn1$ these seem to be all tags, and i'm not sure how to clean them up. It would be great if it was possible to clone the repo without these warnings.
If i look at the dates for all the relevant errors, they're all over a decade old:
0 dkg@alice:~/src/gnutls/libtasn1$ for x in $( git fsck --strict --no-dangling |& awk '/^error/{ print $4 }' | tr -d ':'); do git log -n1 $x; done | grep ^Date
