In order to support ref-less tag objects (aka. 'notes'), we want to do
some changes to the tag object structure. The new structure implemented
in this patch is backward-compatible in the way that all existing tag
objects (valid in the old implementation) will remain valid in the new
implementation. The following changes are done:
1. Make the "tag" header optional. The "tag" header contains the tag name,
which is optional for 'notes'. The new semantics for the "tag" header
are as follows: The tag header _must_ be given for signed tags (this
is already enforced by git-tag.sh). When the tag header is not given,
its value defaults to the empty string.
2. Introduce a new optional "keywords" header. The "keywords" header is a
comma-separated list of free-form values. However, two certain value
have special meaning: "tag" and "note": When the "keywords" header is
missing, its default value is set to "tag" if a "tag" header is
present; else the default "keywords" value is set to "note". The
"keywords" header is meant to be used by porcelains for classifying
different types of tag objects. This classification may then be used to
filter tag objects in the presentation layer (e.g. by implementing
extra filter options to --decorate, etc.)
3. Make the "tagger" header mandatory. This header has already for a long
time been "de facto" mandatory, in that it is automatically generated
by git-tag.sh. This patch verifies the existence of the header when
creating tag objects. However, since there exists old tags without
the "tagger" header, the verification should not be done when parsing
tag objects.
4. Consolidate the parsing and verification of tag objects. Currently
parsing is done in tag.c:parse_tag_buffer(), and verification is done
with a very similar piece of code in mktag.c:verify_tag(). This patch
unifies the parsing and verification of tag objects in a new function
parse_and_verify_tag_buffer() which is then called from the other
places.
