Returning early when !buf_size before even attempting to strstr
would be cleaner to read, i.e.

        buf = read_object_file(...);
        if (!buf || !buf_size) {
                free(buf);
                return NULL;
        }
        body = strstr(buf, "\n\n");

FWIW, the type check that is done after this point could also be a
part of the early return, as there is no point scanning for the end
of object header part if the object is not a tag (e.g. if it were a
blob, there is no "header part" and scanning for a blank line is
meaningless).

Isn't this essentially

        tag_body = xstrdup(sp);
        tag_body_size = signature_offset;

(my arith may be off by one or two, but does a separate
tag_body_size need to exist?)

I do not think the original gives any such warning.

 - Do we want to be unconditionally noisy this way?
 - Should this be a fatal error?  If not, why?
 - Should the message be translatable?

As an interface, is it sensible to force any and all callers of
get_tag_body() to supply a pointer to &size?  Is the returned value
always a NUL-terminated string?  I suspect that people would find it
a more natural interface if its were like:

        const char *body = get_tag_body(oid);

        if (!body)              
                ...;

        if (this caller needs size) {
                size_t body_size = strlen(body);
                ... use both body and body_size ...
                write_or_die(fd, body, body_size);
        } else {
                ... just use body ...
                printf("%s", body);
        }

WTH is this double writing?
