This seems to work fine for me. If I do:
{
echo "Version 0.0.0"
echo
echo "An example."
echo
echo "Insertions: 10"
} >input
git tag -F input foo
then your example above produces:
foo 2024-09-06 Jeff King Version 0.0.0 Insertions: 10
I wonder if the contents of the tag are not exactly as you expect, and
that is fooling the trailer parser (which relies on some heuristics to
find the right spot). Can you show us the output of "git cat-file tag
<some-tag>"? Mine looks like:
$ git cat-file tag foo
object af1c73c21ab34cfbdc86da838acacc6e45ccd264
type commit
tag foo
tagger Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> 1725595316 -0400
Version 0.0.0
An example.
Insertions: 10
-Peff
