22 git-mktag \- Creates a tag object
26 git\-mktag < signature_file
31 Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object that can also be used to sign other objects\&.
34 The output is the new tag's <object> identifier\&.
39 A tag signature file has a very simple fixed format: three lines of
48 followed by some optional free\-form signature that git itself doesn't care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar\&.
51 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)
