11
13 Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object that
14 can also be used to sign other objects.
15
16 The output is the new tag’s <object> identifier.

19 A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
20
21 object <sha1>
22 type <typename>
23 tag <tagname>
24 tagger <tagger>
25
26 followed by some optional free-form message (some tags created by older
27 Git may not have tagger line). The message, when exists, is separated
28 by a blank line from the header. The message part may contain a
29 signature that Git itself doesn’t care about, but that can be verified
30 with gpg.
