format-patch would segfault if provided a tag as one of the range
endpoints in conjunction with --ignore-if-in-upstream, as it assumed the
object was a commit and attempted to cast it to struct commit.
Dereference the tag as soon as possible to prevent this, but not until
after copying the necessary flags.
