fast-import: make tagger information optional

gitster · gitster · commit 88fbf67b78c7 · 2008-12-19T19:25:06.000-08:00
Even though newer Porcelain tools always record the tagger information
when creating new tags, export/import pair should be able to faithfully
reproduce ancient tag objects that lack tagger information.
