| ============ |
| |
| 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) |
