Hmm, it looks like this already hit 'next', so it is too late to change
the commit message (although 'next' will get rewound after the release,
so we _could_ do it then).
I also was going to suggest these style fixes, which could be applied on
top (or squashed if we end up going that route). I actually wonder if
the final tag one could just use two invocations of "git tag -m", but
it's probably not worth spending too much time on polishing.

Subject: [PATCH] t5500: prettify non-commit tag tests
We don't need to use backslash continuation, as the "&&"
already provides continuation (and happily soaks up empty
lines between commands).
We can also expand the multi-line printf into a
here-document, which lets us use line breaks more naturally
(and avoids another continuation that required us to break
the natural indentation).
