cg-tag only creates a tag object if -s (sign) is specified. This not only doesn't work properly with a fair number of tools (e.g. gitk), but it also means that any description the user has entered via the -d option is silently discarded! Please create a tag object for all tags, even if it is not signed. -hpa

Dear diary, on Tue, Sep 27, 2005 at 01:36:01AM CEST, I got a letter where "H. Peter Anvin" [off-list ref] told me that...

Yes, makes sense. In the past it seemed like a nice idea to only create it when we have to, but it has way too many downsides and if you still have a plausible reason not to want the tag objects, you're special enough to fallback to the lowlevel tools. cg-tag now always creates tag objects. Thanks for the feedback, -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't.
