Ahh, Ok, your 3/3 addresses this exact issue.
I do not object to silently return when the object is not OBJ_TAG (even
though I slightly prefer showing the first N lines of commit log contents
for OBJ_COMMIT lightweight tag), but I still think it should be warned
just like a corruption when we see (type == OBJ_TAG && !size).
