| 22 | ---------- |
| Junio C Hamano | 33e8fc8 | 2015-10-16 11:27:42 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | A tag signature file, to be fed to this command's standard input, |
| 24 | has a very simple fixed format: four lines of |
| David Greaves | c1bdacf | 2005-05-10 22:32:38 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | |
| 26 | object <sha1> |
| 27 | type <typename> |
| 28 | tag <tagname> |
| Junio C Hamano | 6cfec03 | 2007-06-10 16:00:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | tagger <tagger> |

| Junio C Hamano | 6cfec03 | 2007-06-10 16:00:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created |
| Thomas Ackermann | 2de9b71 | 2013-01-21 20:17:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | by older Git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when |
| Junio C Hamano | 6cfec03 | 2007-06-10 16:00:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The |
| Thomas Ackermann | 2de9b71 | 2013-01-21 20:17:53 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | message part may contain a signature that Git itself doesn't |
| Junio C Hamano | 6cfec03 | 2007-06-10 16:00:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | care about, but that can be verified with gpg. |
