Add a post-tag hook, to allow notifications when a tag is created.
The hook is given the name of the newly created tag.

Why would you want to send notifications upon creating a tag in
your local repository?

Usually a tag is only interesting when it has been sent to a shared
public repository, which is by git push, and thus is caught by a
git receive-pack hook like post-update or post-receive.

+This command can run the `post-tag` hook. See linkgit:githooks[5]

+post-tag
+--------
+
+This hook is invoked by 'git-tag'.  It takes one parameter, the name
+of the tag, and is invoked after a tag is made.
+
+This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
+the outcome of 'git-tag'.
