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.

On the particular project I'm working on, we're not really using git
in the most distributed fashion -- it's completely internal to the
company. In our case, the tags are being created directly on
the shared repository, rather than on a local repository and being
pushed.
