After looking the git-tag manpage, someone on #git wondered how to tag a commit that is not a branch head. This patch changes the synopsis to say "<commit> | <object>" instead of "<head>" to address his question. Samuel Bronson had the idea of putting "<commit> | <object>" for "<object>" because most tags point to commits (and for the rest of the manpage, all tags point to commits).

So if you want to use "|", then it should be > "<commit> | <object>". Nice catch -- thanks.
