5 * A signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines
6 * of "object <sha1>" + "type <typename>" + "tag <tagname>" +
7 * "tagger <committer>", followed by a blank line, a free-form tag
8 * message and a signature block that git itself doesn't care about,
9 * but that can be verified with gpg or similar.
11 * The first three lines are guaranteed to be at least 63 bytes:
12 * "object <sha1>\n" is 48 bytes, "type tag\n" at 9 bytes is the
13 * shortest possible type-line, and "tag .\n" at 6 bytes is the
14 * shortest single-character-tag line.
18 * We refuse to tag something we can't verify. Just because.
