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