I've used it to fix both findutils.git and automake.git.  Remember, if
you already have a checkout with the broken tags, git will not
automatically replace them with the fixed ones; you'll have to first
delete the broken tags locally and then refresh from upstream.  I'm
attaching the names of the tags that got fixed; you can fix your local
side by:

$ git tag -d $(cat broken)
$ git fetch origin --tags

then, optionally use git prune to remove the now-dangling broken tags.

As such, I'm marking this bug as complete.
