If mktag fails to create a tag, presumably .git/refs/tags/mytag file would be left empty. Wouldn't "git tag -l" notice that it is not a valid ref and omit it from its output? I suspect if you corrupt the contents of tag.sig temporarily while the first of the original tests were running in such a way that mktag notices a bogosity, the second half of the original would notice. Having said that, I like the new way much better. But do we even need to create the tag with update-ref in the first place? What does it check? The fact that "mktag" only creates an object and never creates a new ref to point at the newly created object (hence we expect refs/tags/mytag does not yet exist)? I am not complaining that it runs update-ref there or creates the mytag tag. I am just saying I do not understand what the test wants to check by doing so. > While we're at it let's prevent a similar logic error from creeping > into the test by asserting that "mytag" doesn't exist before we create > it.
