annoted tag can raise a fatal error

[mhow2]

I don't have a clue why but for some SVN tags (aka branches), if you specify annotated true within a matching rule, the tool die with : 'fatal: Can't tag an empty branch.'
It doesn't happened without annotated.

I can't find anything with the failing tag that is different with those who works : could you lead to the path to understand what's happening ?

I'm using svn2git 1.0.11, svn 1.9.3 and git 2.15.1

I'm seeing this issue too. The failure appears to happen when "svn-all-fast-export" tries to export a tag from subversion that has been deleted (or renamed) in a later revision.

1. Create subversion repo
2. Create directory 'trunk' and 'tags', add a simple text file to 'trunk' and commit
3. Create a tag from 'trunk' in 'tags' and commit
4. Delete previously created tag and commit
5. Run svn-all-fast-export
6. git-fast-import crashes with "fatal: Can't tag an empty branch"

The problem was, that the annotated tags are created at the very end of the svn2git run.
If the supporting ref that is tagged got deleted or renamed in the meantime, it failed.
With my PR applied those deleted and renamed refs are excluded from creating annotated tags for.
