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.
17
19 A tag signature file, to be fed to this command’s standard input, has a
20 very simple fixed format: four lines of
21
22 object <sha1>
23 type <typename>
24 tag <tagname>
25 tagger <tagger>
26
27 followed by some optional free-form message (some tags created by older
28 Git may not have tagger line). The message, when exists, is separated
29 by a blank line from the header. The message part may contain a
30 signature that Git itself doesn’t care about, but that can be verified
31 with gpg.
