Formatting $(taggername) on headerless tags such as v0.99 in Git
causes a SIGABRT with error "munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer",
because of an oversight in commit f0062d3b74 (ref-filter: free
item->value and item->value->s, 2018-10-19).

If I understand correctly, such tags cannot be produced normally anymore.
Therefore I'm unsure how to make tests, and if that is even warranted.

Thanks for spotting.

I am not sure if the approach taken by this patch is the right one,
though.  I didn't follow the call/dataflow thoroughly, but if we
replace unfree-able "" with NULL in these places, wouldn't
fill_missing_values() take care of them?

I think replacing these "" with NULL would be safe, but there are
many places that return xstrdup("") from inside the callees of
populate_value(), so the patch presented here would be more
consistent with the current practice, I think.

So let's take the patch as is, at least for now.  Thanks.

A quick trial to recreate a tag object seems to succeed:

    $ git cat-file tag v0.99 |
    > sed -e '/-----BEGIN/,$d' |
    > git hash-object --stdin -w -t tag
    667d141b478eee5e53d2ee05acd61bb1f640249a
    $ git cat-file tag 667d141b47
    object a3eb250f996bf5e12376ec88622c4ccaabf20ea8
    type commit
    tag v0.99

    Test-release for wider distribution.

    I'll make the first public RPM's etc, thus the tag.

So we should be able to do something along the above line.  Here is
my quick-n-dirty one.

Indeed, I just copied the existing style.  Returning NULL seems to work,
but not something I'm confident to clean up here.

Thank you!
