Introduce an option to deny unsigned tags from entering
a repository. This is useful in teams where members forget
to sign their release tags.

It does not actually check whether the signature is actually
complete or valid, it just checks for the beginning of a
signature, as further checks would be too involved.

This effectively also denies un-annotated tags, as those
are unsigned by definition.

Hmm. Is this diagnostic sufficient to help the person resolve the
issue? Isn't it actively misleading to advise using '-a'? Perhaps a
distinct message is warranted?

(Alternately, if you follow Junio's advice and disallow this
combination of options, then this issue becomes moot.)

The diagnostic for $allowunannotated gives helpful advice about how to
resolve the problem. Should this one follow suit?

Also consistency might suggest patterning this message after the one
for $allowunannotated. Perhaps something like this:

    The unsigned tag $short_refname is not allowed in this repository.
    Use 'git tag -s' for tags you want to propagate.

or something.
