/*
- * A signature file has a very simple fixed format: four lines
- * of "object <sha1>" + "type <typename>" + "tag <tagname>" +
+ * Tag object data has the following format: two mandatory lines of
+ * "object <sha1>" + "type <typename>", plus two optional lines of
+ * "tag <tagname>" + "keywords <keywords>", plus a mandatory line of
* "tagger <committer>", followed by a blank line, a free-form tag
- * message and a signature block that git itself doesn't care about,
- * but that can be verified with gpg or similar.
+ * message and an optional signature block that git itself doesn't
+ * care about, but that can be verified with gpg or similar.
*
- * The first three lines are guaranteed to be at least 63 bytes:
- * "object <sha1>\n" is 48 bytes, "type tag\n" at 9 bytes is the
- * shortest possible type-line, and "tag .\n" at 6 bytes is the
- * shortest single-character-tag line.
+ * <sha1> represents the object pointed to by this tag, <typename> is
+ * the type of the object pointed to ("tag", "blob", "tree" or "commit"),
+ * <tagname> is the name of this tag object (and must correspond to the
+ * name of the corresponding ref (if any) in '.git/refs/'). <keywords> is
+ * a comma-separated list of keywords associated with this tag object, and
+ * <committer> holds the "name <email>" of the tag creator and timestamp
+ * of when the tag object was created (analogous to "committer" in commit
+ * objects).
+ *
+ * The first two lines are guaranteed to be at least 57 bytes:
+ * "object <sha1>\n" is 48 bytes, and "type tag\n" at 9 bytes is
+ * the shortest possible "type" line. The tagger line is at least
+ * "tagger \n" (8 bytes). Therefore a tag object _must_ have >= 65 bytes.
+ *
+ * If "tag <tagname>" is omitted, <tagname> defaults to the empty string.
+ * If "keywords <keywords>" is omitted, <keywords> defaults to "tag" if
+ * a <tagname> was given, "note" otherwise.
