git-mktag(1)
============
NAME
----
git-mktag - Creates a tag object
SYNOPSIS
--------
Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git " Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

that can also be used to sign other objects.
The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.

followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created
by older git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when
exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The
message part may contain a signature that git itself doesn't
care about, but that can be verified with gpg.
