Big tool rename. As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

git-tag(1)
==========
Documentation updates. Linus brought up that documentation for many commands have incorrect attribution. I started counting lines again, but ended up adding a handful of missing manual pages. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

git-tag - Create a tag object signed with GPG

SYNOPSIS
--------
Allow "-u" flag to tag signing The current "git tag -s" thing always uses the tagger name as the signing user key, which is very irritating, since my key is under my email address, but the tagger key obviously contains the actual machine name too. Now, I could just use "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" and force it to be my real email, but I actually think that it's nice to see which machine I use for my work. So rather than force my tagger ID to have to match the gpg key name, just support the "-u" flag to "git tag" instead. It implicitly enables signing, since it doesn't make any sense without it. Thus: git tag -u <gpg-key-name> <tag-name> [<tagged-object>] will use the named gpg key for signing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

If one of `-a`, `-s`, or `-u <key-id>` is passed, the command
creates a 'tag' object, and requires the tag message. Unless
`-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type
in the tag message.

Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is
written (i.e. an lightweight tag).
A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u
<key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the
committer identity for the current user is used to find the
GnuPG key for signing.
