Thanks for the help. Both
(1) atag = !sh -c 'git tag -a -m "$0" "$0"'
and
(2) atag = !sh -c 'git tag -a -m "$1" "$1"' -
work, but in the latter case the '-' is indeed crucial.
If not given, $1 is not set and git tag complains badly.
When called without any args, (1) sets a tag called "sh"
whereas (2) complains about the missing value for the -m option.
So I decided to use the second form. Shells are funny things. ;-)
BTW: Is it true that "-a" is implicitely added to "git tag"
when the "-m" switch is present, i.e. are
$ git tag -m foo foo
and
$ git tag -a -m foo foo
equivalent? Thought so, but it's not in the docs.

All my shell aliases therefor look like:
h = "!sh -c 'git alias \"$1\" || git help \"$1\"' -"
(Notice the trailing '-'.)
Just for my curiosity, why aren't they
h = "!sh -c 'git alias \"$0\" || git help \"$0\"'"
without trailing '-'?
