NAME

|
----
|
|
git-mktag - Creates a tag object
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-mktag' < signature_file
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object
|
|
that can also be used to sign other objects.
|
|
|
|
The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
|
|
|
|
Tag Format
|
|
----------
|
|
A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: three lines of
|
|
|
|
object <sha1>
|
|
type <typename>
|
|
tag <tagname>
|
|
|
|
followed by some 'optional' free-form signature that git itself
|
|
doesn't care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar.
|
|
|
|
The size of the full object is artificially limited to 8kB. (Just
|
|
because I'm a lazy bastard, and if you can't fit a signature in that
|
|
size, you're doing something wrong)
