7 git-mktag - Creates a tag object
12 'git-mktag' < signature_file
16 Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object
17 that can also be used to sign other objects.
19 The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
23 A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: three lines of
29 followed by some 'optional' free-form signature that git itself
30 doesn't care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar.
32 The size of the full object is artificially limited to 8kB. (Just
33 because I'm a lazy bastard, and if you can't fit a signature in that
34 size, you're doing something wrong)
