| Junio C Hamano | 6cfec03 | 2007-06-10 16:00:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines of |

| 25 | object <sha1> |
| 26 | type <typename> |
| 27 | tag <tagname> |
| Junio C Hamano | 6cfec03 | 2007-06-10 16:00:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | tagger <tagger> |

| Junio C Hamano | 6cfec03 | 2007-06-10 16:00:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created |
| 31 | by older git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when |
| 32 | exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The |
| 33 | message part may contain a signature that git itself doesn't |
| 34 | care about, but that can be verified with gpg. |
