Unless 42`-m <msg>` is given, an editor is started for the user to type 43in the tag message. 44 45Otherwise just the SHA1 object name of the commit object is 46written (i.e. a lightweight tag). 47 48A GnuPG signed tag object will be created when `-s` or `-u 49<key-id>` is used. When `-u <key-id>` is not used, the 50committer identity for the current user is used to find the 51GnuPG key for signing. 52 53`-d <tag>` deletes the tag. 54 55 56Author 57------ 58Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>, 59Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> and Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>. 60 61Documentation 62-------------- 63Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 64 65GIT 66--- 67Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite
